Last year the parliament passed my bill to give people who are in the final stages of a terminal illness and have decision making capacity, a pathway to get medical assistance to die if their suffering is no longer bearable. While the laws passed, there has been an extensive implementation period to set up the board and train medical practitioners. That process is now complete and the new scheme will begin operating from 28 November. NSW Health has details about the scheme for the community as well as practitioners > HERE
