Overseas, in other jurisdictions, there is a very long list of problems with the paperwork. In the Netherlands, a recent government evaluation showed that up to 15% of assisted deaths were not even recorded in the official systems because of paperwork errors, and 1% to 2% of cases were described as “not careful”. In Belgium, a range of investigations have specifically shown reporting problems with poor documentation, incomplete assessments and missing information.
