I would have liked to see some consideration of whether people could be helped more to live, rather than being helped to die

Helped by whom?

The bitter truth is that effective support for life is not a mystery needing exploration: the issue, that no-one is willing to face up to is that providing support for life is way more expensive than not.

Also it is difficult, and can be very stressful and debilitating for people providing the support. That might make it difficult to recruit employees, and particularly difficult to recruit good ones, for care homes.

Good point! And although providing support is expensive, many of the people working to support others are paid little, if anything, above the minimum wage.
