Physician-Assisted Dying committee  Yes, I think so. We have the clinicians at the table as well as the patient voice. I can assure you that if she didn't feel we were doing a good enough job, she would let us know.

Physician-Assisted Dying committee  Our working group committee is a subcommittee of our medical advisory committee in the hospital. As we indicated, it's an interprofessional group, with legal as well as ethics.

Physician-Assisted Dying committee  Sorry, it's one patient representative, but she is undertaking, as part of the empowerment council work, consultations external to this committee.

Physician-Assisted Dying committee  To answer the first part of your question, I believe all provinces and territories do have health profession appeal boards of some sort. Whether or not it's a consent and capacity board, there are health appeal boards where decisions or issues that come up in the clinical setting or health care setting would go.

Physician-Assisted Dying committee  With respect to the team that would be involved in the decision-making along with the patient to see whether or not the criteria were met, I think my friend has addressed that. Where we would consider a panel or a board, such as the Consent and Capacity Board here in Ontario, would be where decision-making was required to be appealed, where the patient who was making the request was refused by the clinical team, the advisory team that was in place.
