I propose that we change the words “grievous medical condition” to “terminal medical condition” in that I'm looking to protect vulnerable people with disabilities. Often, if you suffer from a disability, this is a grievous condition, but it's not necessarily terminal. I don't think it should be.... We've heard evidence from members from the disability community saying they are concerned about the direction that this is going in. I'd like to reassure them and say this will be available only to people who have a terminal medical condition. That is the impetus for this amendment.
