Responding to the Supreme Court Ruling on Indefinite Reporting Restriction Orders RCN Executive Director of Legal and Member Relations, Joanne Galbraith-Marten, said: 

 

“Today’s decision will be disappointing and worrying for those involved in critical treatment choices and end-of-life care.

 

“The decision today has the potential to add additional pressures to what can be very challenging situations.

 

“We will take time to fully understand the implications of the judgment of the Supreme Court for our members and the impact on their rights in these very difficult circumstances.”
