Over 100 patients choose to end their lives in first three months of new laws
NSW was the last state to legalise voluntary assisted dying and hundreds of people have asked for approval: report
More than 100 people have been helped to end their own lives in the first three months since Voluntary Assisted Dying was made legal in NSW.
The state was the last to introduce a legislated voluntary assisted dying regimen for people with incurable, terminal illness.
In its first report into the scheme, covering the three months after legalisation in late November, the NSW Voluntary Assisted Dying Board revealed 373 people had been deemed eligible.
Of that cohort, 131 ended their lives during the same period.
