(2) If a person who resides at, or receives health services at, a health service establishment of a non-VAD provider advises a member of staff of the non-VAD provider that the person wishes to access the voluntary assisted dying process, the non-VAD provider must – (a) provide the prescribed information to the person as soon as reasonably practicable; and (b) ensure that – (i) if the person so chooses, the person is, in accordance with, and where permitted by, the prescribed protocols, transferred to the health service establishment of a health service provider that is not a non-VAD provider; and (ii) the non-VAD provider provides all reasonable assistance (other than financial assistance) to ensure that such a transfer of the person is able to occur; and (c) comply with the prescribed requirements in relation to the obligations of the non-VAD provider in relation to persons who choose to access voluntary assisted dying. (3) Despite any other provision of this Act or the regulations, a registered health practitioner who is a member of staff of a non-VAD provider is not required to carry out, at the health service establishment of the non-VAD provider, an action that, but for this subsection, the registered health practitioner is, as a PMP, CMP or AHP in relation to a person, required to carry out in relation to the person, if the prescribed requirements, if any, are complied with by the registered health practitioner. (4) A non-VAD provider in relation to a health service establishment is not liable to any claim or demand by a person, or a member of the family of a person, arising from the refusal of the non-VAD provider, or a member of staff of the non-VAD provider, to authorise or permit the person to access voluntary assisted dying at the health service establishment.” |
