I looked at a study on the impact of Covid on 11 of the jurisdictions where assisted suicide is legal. It found that, in each of those, telemedicine had pushed the boundaries and rules were blurred. In some cases, rules were broken because it had become much quicker to do an assessment. We have not got on to how people are going to be paid or whether there is going to be remuneration, and to the appointment of those individuals, but my concern with telemedicine or doing this by video is that it would incentivise people to push through the assessments and do them quickly.
