Don’t force aged care ‘homes’ to carry out VAD, urge doctors
Hundreds of clinicians are calling on the NSW Parliament to amend a provision in its Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill that will force aged care facilities to participate
A group of doctors have made a last-ditch attempt to persuade politicians to amend the NSW Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2021 so aged care facilities will not be forced to allow the delivery of the procedure on their premises.
The group called Health Professionals Say No, representing almost 900 “independent, secular” healthcare workers, including hundreds of doctors, has taken out a full-page advertisement in The Sydney Morning Herald, calling for amendments to the Bill.
