Catholic Medical Association, 17 January 2025
The following analysis was largely prepared by a member of the CMA who is a retired. Consultant physician with legal qualifications. This analysis is a commentary on the Private Members Bill of Ms Kim Leadbeater MBE MP which is currently before Parliament and passed the Second Reading on 29 November 2024 by 330 votes to 275.It was approved by the CMA council on 18 January 2025. This analysis is a commentary of the Bill as presented to Parliament and is likely to undergo changes before the third reading. It does not constitute legal advice but will hopefully help to explain how the practice of medicine would change if the Leadbeater Bill became law.
