Will my hon. Friend the Minister consider in her reply another aspect of consent, which I do not think we have discussed? I am referring to consent from people with motor neurone disease who can neither write nor speak. However, there are other mechanisms, involving the alphabet and so on, by which they can transmit consent. We must be careful about the giving of consent by people with different types of disease. We do not want to miss any tricks at this stage.
