That would be one that would be commonly shared across the world. I did some work with the Council of Europe in terms of the provision of palliative care in Europe.

Certainly, the majority in the profession in Ireland would be very concerned about a change in the law. If he does not mind me asking, is Dr. Mewett an outlier in terms of palliative care physicians in his jurisdiction?
