Does Professor O'Neill accept that in the context of their end-of-life care, there are some people who have difficult deaths? We had representatives from the Irish College of General Practitioners in last week who said 5% to 6% of those who die in the State will have quite difficult deaths. Does Professor O'Neill accept that in the context of the circumstances to which I refer? We are not talking about assisted dying; we are talking about people having quite difficult deaths.
