We can learn from the global examples unfolding today and make decisions that prioritise sustainable, people-focused healthcare investments over expensive, reactive interventions driven by profit motives.
The Surge in Assisted Suicide
In a day and age where there is a growing epidemic of loneliness and despair, we should not be encouraging a culture of death as the antidote to life and its challenges.

The policy formulation process has been extraordinarily poor. The case is not made scientifically, economically or environmentally in any underpinning policy documentation.
