Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying

Protecting Autonomy and Assessing Decision-making Capacity: Discussion

Dr. Caroline Dalton:

The issues surrounding the availability of services are well known. They will have to be addressed irrespective of what we are discussing today. We need to be working towards ensuring that people have access to the supports they require. The issues in disability and mental health services are well known. They must be addressed in a range of contexts, including the financial context.
