There are a number of questions within that. The standard puts forward the requirement that when a grievous and irremediable condition is primarily that of mental health, the opinion of eligibility should be informed by a psychiatrist, so that the physician making the determination of eligibility can rely on the opinion of a psychiatrist who may already be present. I believe it was in the last session—and the physician's name escapes me now—that the witness who was video conferencing pointed out that involving psychiatrists for all such cases may create a problem of access.
I think we also have to recognize that in these early days of this new medical service and this new right of patients, as the profession itself grows increasingly accustomed to making decisions on questions of this sort, all would be comforted by the presence of a psychiatric opinion.
