While I appreciate the intention of the amendment, I will not support it. I believe we had this discussion yesterday on several other amendments dealing with palliative care. It tells the physician how to decide on informed consent, rather than leaving it to the physician to decide.
Obviously, we would hope and trust that palliative care would always be discussed. “Have had” puts an undue requirement that I believe would potentially create an unnecessary barrier. Therefore, I would not support the amendment.
