Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
Examination of Potential Consequences - Protecting and Enhancing the Provision of Palliative Care: Discussion
Dr. Matthew Dor?:
I do not know the system. That has happened in Canada and hospices have been shut on the basis that they are not facilitating medical assistance in dying, MAiD. If 98% of this sector does not want it, one has to question whether legislation forcing it to do it in their premises seems a massive conflict and creates an existential crisis in the workforce. The Senator must see that.
