Dr. Greg Mewett:

There are two scenarios as I said before. One is where patients self-administer in which case, they will have the medication delivered and dispensed to them by two pharmacists who go through the whole process. They can then either put it up the cupboard or decide to take it two hours later if that is their choice. They have a person who is called a contact person who has to contact the voluntary assisted dying review board if there is any leftover medication. They notify the doctor or the palliative care service when the person dies, as they would if someone died by any other means. There is also practitioner administration, where the actual medication is delivered and dispensed to the doctor who then arranges with the patient to administer.
