IMO #MAID should never become an option for MH patients, especially if our services already routinely fail to treat the treatable safely and effectively.

I suppose the above example is extreme and oversimplified, but not entirely unforseeable. The slope appears to be slipping already in other parts of the world.

Hypothetically - where patient is suffering from a mental disorder alone, and also with suicidality -

Psych: We may be able to help with that?!?

Given that access to #MH services is universally poor across the UK, I think it would be a huge disservice to mental health patients if #MAID was introduced and then ever extended to #MH in a careless manner.

Royal College of Psychiatrists have maintained a neutral position - but have specifically stated that if sole mental disorder were to come into the scope of the eligibility criteria, they’d want to “participate comprehensively” in this process. ✅

I support #MAID being an option afforded to patients with a terminal condition nearing the end of life, but many have expressed valid and significant concerns about the way the proposed bill is written.

We're challenging this in the court, but we're still very short of funds.
