Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Assisted Dying in New Zealand and Australia: Discussion

Dr. Kristin Good:

We would be very concerned if there is a smoking gun. The breach related to the timing of submission of a date and time form. It was purely around process. It was not around anything to do with assessments, which are very highly scrutinised. I absolutely agree with the Senator. The whole team has worked to make sure, and it is my job, that the right things have happened in respect of every single application. The breach was an administrative thing, where the practitioner submitted the date and time form within a shorter period than he or she should have because the date and time were brought forward. It had already gone through compliance.
