Dr. Eve Griffin:

To come back to the earlier question on the research on the profile of both groups, what we have reported is based on international research that has been published on people who have died via assisted dying, which does show a difference between those two cohorts. What has been described and what also comes across in the research is that intersection and potential vulnerability, particularly among two cohorts of people who identified in our Connecting for Life strategy, namely, older people and those in the early days of chronic or terminal illness. From our perspective in terms of advocating for suicide prevention to be the first line of response, those are the particular risks and potential vulnerabilities that we wish to highlight, along with the need for early intervention in the days and weeks after a person receives that diagnosis and the need for those psychosocial supports to be available from the outset.
