Briefly, no. If the person is actively suicidal, assessments for MAID are off the table.
We need to ensure that the person has been referred to the appropriate mental health services. We occasionally encounter a circumstance where we find somebody ineligible and they say, “Well, I'm just going to kill myself, then.” My response to that is to telephone the police and do a wellness check on them to ensure they are going to get the care they require, in addition to speaking to the care providers who have referred them to me.
