Question
I refer to the response to question without notice 904, and I ask:
(a) will the Minister table the minutes of the meetings held to date by the Western Australian voluntary assisted dying implementation leadership team; and
(b) if no to (a), why not?
Answered on 20 October 2020
I am advised:
(a) Yes. Please see tabled paper no., which are the minutes of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Implementation Leadership Team meetings which have been held to date.
Voluntary assisted dying will be a significant choice for eligible Western Australians at end of life. The Voluntary Assisted Dying Implementation Leadership Team is tasked with providing expert advice and recommendations to the Department of Health.
In this context, the minutes reflect the actions and progress of the Voluntary Assisted Dying Implementation Leadership Team at a given point in time. The minutes do not necessarily reflect the current progress of projects or the status of discussions as they are at present.
(b) Not applicable.
