Disastrous, shortsighted decision to end funding for scheme to get bright graduates into mental health social work. We set this up when I was minister. Mental health social work had been a neglected area. Mental health social workers play a vital role.

Powerful report of terminally man choosing an assisted death. Died in dignity with his family by his side. Very clear in his determination to end his life.
