The noble Lord, Lord Jackson, raised coercion training, which is an important part of this. In Australia, the coercion training is a video of less than three minutes. In Victoria, the navigator was created by the health board, but was not that clearly defined. There is something that we can learn from the situation in Australia, where the Victoria model has now been replicated throughout. The role of the navigator, much like we debated in earlier groups, is to source the doctors who would be able to perform the process. I certainly do not see that as something positive, but we need somebody who can be calm, give sensible and independent advice, and help people. These are really big decisions that somebody is taking.
