Information Requested

 As a disabled person in Scotland, who in the future could be effected by this bill if it passes into law, I respectfully would ask your organisation to state now and if needs be under the Freedom of information (Scotland) Act 2002 what your organisations formal position is on the Assisted Dying for terminally ill adults (Scotland) Bill is as of this time. 

Response

FOI legislation provides a right of access to recorded information that a public authority holds at the time a request is received. It does not require a public authority to create new information, provide commentary, or express views or opinions in order to answer a request. 

 

Following a search of our records, the Scottish Ambulance Service does not hold recorded information setting out a formal organisational position (for example, a policy statement, briefing, or agreed corporate view) on the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill.
