Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Siobh?n N? Bhriain:

I wish to come in on that and Dr. Twomey will come in on it in a second. There is still considerable research ongoing in this area of care. I think some of the issues the Senator is raising would be a matter for consideration during the consultative stage or pre-legislative stage. We cannot answer here whether this should be a healthcare matter or whether it should be outside of healthcare. We think that needs further scrutiny, depending on the recommendations of this committee.
