  1. Updated the 'Intended aims' section of the 'Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill: equality impact assessment - HTML version' to correct the year 1 'high cohort' estimate in line with changes in the impact assessment (from 1,311 to 1,078) and to clarify that year 1 constitutes half a year. Also updated the same section to reflect the correct proportion of applications resulting in deaths (from 2 in 3 to 3 in 5). A point of clarification was also made to reflect the government's responsibility as "workable" instead of "lawful" in the introduction.
