That is right. The issue was discussed during the previous session.

I will go back to what the disability groups have said in Northern Ireland. Earlier I quoted Disability Action and I will do so again:

Disability Action is opposed to the legalisation of assisted suicide. Whilst we believe that people should have a right to control in their lives, we believe that changing the law to benefit a small number of people would have a much wider repercussion on how that society values people with disabilities.

Does the professor believe there is a potential conflict between trying to uphold a particular standard in a health care setting and, as Dr. McQuillan mentioned, a potential diversion or dilution of a person's right to health care as most people would see it? Does that diversion undermine what some of the disability groups have mentioned?
