Joint Oireachtas Committee on Assisted Dying
System for Assisted Dying and Alternative Policies: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Siobh?n McArdle:
As I set out in our opening statement, the Department has not been commissioned or asked by Government to work on the matter of assisted dying so our presentation today was mostly from the perspective of the services that are currently provided, under policy, which at the moment range into palliative care.
