As a result of this act

'NHS Employers is committed to supporting NHS organisations improve access to services for patients and staff, regardless of religious or philosophical beliefs. This includes assistance through the Positively Diverse programme to develop model policies on a wide range of issues, from meeting spiritual needs and ensuring freedom of religious expression for patients and staff, to adjusting work rotas to accommodate prayer times or religious holidays.'

'Freedom is exercised in relationships between human beings. Every human person, created in the image of God, has the natural right to be recognized as a free and responsible being. All owe to each other this duty of respect. The right to the exercise of freedom, especially in moral and religious matters, is an inalienable requirement of the dignity of the human person. This right must be recognized and protected by civil authority within the limits of the common good and public order'

'To cherish life is to care for living people: it is a matter of what or who we care about and what draws us to care.'

'Catholic Christians discover how to value every human life not only through reflection on Scripture, on the example of the saints and on the teachings of the Church, but also by the use of their reason and understanding, and through the experience of seeking to live out the Christian life in the contemporary world.'
