Thank you, Ms. Hoffman.
I will now move on to a completely different topic, which is palliative care budgets.
Discussions have already taken place to try to determine whether it was the lack of palliative care that prompted people to request MAID, but it turned out not to be quite that.
As you mentioned, 80% of people who requested MAID had access to palliative care. However, this sometimes causes hesitation in my circle. Even if the form indicates that a person has received palliative care, it isn't clear what level of palliative care is involved, whether the person received palliative care for only three days or for a long period of time.
Do the forms that MAID providers fill out tell you a little more about this? Does it say anywhere that a person has actually received palliative care or has only had one meeting with a palliative care team, for example?
