@Thevy29 The first inmate to access assisted dying in New South Wales has sparked debate about whether victims should be considered in the process.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, died in hospital last week after he gained access to the scheme through Justice Health.
He had developed cancer while serving a 30-year sentence for sex crimes.
His victim, who also cannot be named, said the impact on victims of serious crimes needed to be considered when prisoners applied for assisted dying.

@OriginalNedKelly There was a Peadophile here in South Australia last month. Who served his sentence (5 years I think) for his crime here. He was also told not to contact his victim which he did.
And was told to travel to the Northern Territory by himself to be remanded into custody for crimes he did there.
WTF! What's going on with our justice system? 🤷♂

In its first year of operation in SA, between 31 January 2023 and 30 January 2024, 195 people were issued with a VAD permit by the Department for Health and Wellbeing. Of those, 140 people died including 110 from administration of the VAD substance.
Of those who have applied for VAD in SA since its introduction:
75% were aged 65 years and over
53% were male and 47% were female
77% were receiving palliative care
68% were from metropolitan Adelaide and 32% were from regional SA
There has been a positive uptake in the number of medical practitioners undertaking the mandatory training, with 121 doctors registered to undertake mandatory practitioner training and 73 having completed the training, making them eligible to support access to VAD in SA.
Trained medical practitioners can be found across both metropolitan and regional areas, with 73 per cent in metro Adelaide and 27 per cent in regional South Australia.
