Alex Cole-Hamilton has called for new assisted dying legislation to be introduced in the next Scottish Parliament term, despite a recent bill being rejected by MSPs. He argued that reform would align parliament with public opinion, citing polling suggesting strong support, and said the issue remains unresolved for those seeking end-of-life choice.
