Finally, the other two groups are those suffering from mental disorders and those with suicidal ideation. These are interlinked, because there is a strong connection between the two. We know that research has been done that suggests that around 10% to 15% of those suffering from severe bipolar disorders have committed suicide, and that the figure is even greater for those with the same condition who have attempted suicide. Again, we cannot have a situation in which a route to suicide is fast-tracked through this Bill, so we must have this protection.
