Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Healthcare Provision and Healthcare Professionals: Discussion

Dr. Feargal Twomey:

I do not want to repeat too much of an answer I gave a while ago. The Royal College of Physicians in Ireland is in the process of bringing together a committee representative of the college to revisit this question and to review the current literature in the current national and international environment. It will be a substantive response on behalf of the college. It would be the college's intention to publish that on our website. I will speak with the incoming president of the college, but I do not foresee there being any issue with it being shared with this committee to aid it in its work.
