Biography
Baroness Goldie's recent contributions to Parliament have focused primarily on defence and constitutional matters, including the Armed Forces Bill, Armed Forces Commissioner Bill, and Ukraine policy, delivered across seven debate speeches and one committee appearance. While her stated topics include health and social care areas such as assisted dying and end-of-life care, the provided extracts contain only limited health-related content, with a substantive speech opposing assisted dying on principle during the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill debate. The extracts do not provide sufficient material to summarise her engagement on the other listed health topics (A&E and ambulance response, learning disability and autism, heart disease and stroke).

“…I understand that this is something a number of hospital trusts have started to do when patients attend their A&E departments. Identifying early on whether a patient is a serving member of the Armed Forces or a veteran allows clinicians to develop tailored care.”

“My Lords, I oppose assisted dying on principle; I voted against it in the Scottish Parliament and I want to be transparent. But the task before this House today is to scrutinise the Bill, and that is the process to which I wish to contribute.”

“My Lords, in moving Amendment 3, I will also speak to Amendment 5. Both are in my name and that of my noble friend Lord Minto and are on the issue of whistleblowing. Close followers of this Bill will know that I raised this matter at Second Reading and by amendment in Committee.”
