they wanted operated outside of manx health. thus the majority of responses. and i would remind you that nearly three quarters are against the bill and as you heard during questions, which i was listening to carefully, if i heard it right, you have a problem recruiting health care staff and have a shortage of health care staff. so it's really important that you listen to them. just in terms of the psychiatrists, i have to say delirium is quite common in advanced illness and terminal illness. it may be related to the illness and to the drugs but certainly delusions are quite common and i cannot see how you can ask a psychiatrist for opinion and then discount that opinion. it is tantamount to saying, well, the psychiatrist doesn't matter and i'm not sure that the psychiatrist coughing. to point out that you cannot differentiate between suicide in these inpatients that it's reversible and those were actually you could term irrational and i point out that whenever people do go to the point of suicide itself, they believe themselves to be completely rational. after
