GPs 'conflicted' over whether assisted dying should be offered in Ireland

The committee of TDs and Senators has spent the last few months hearing from advocates and experts from a range of fields on the issue of assisted dying legislation.

The majority of GPs are “conflicted” over whether assisted dying should be offered in Ireland, an Oireachtas committee will hear on Tuesday.

Addressing the Assisted Dying Committee on the topic of safeguarding medical professionals, the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) will say it has engaged with members to try to identify their perspectives on the important issue.
