Updated the impact assessment to correct 2 errors: in paragraph 68 and figure 4, presentational correction to reflect that the ‘high scenario’ assisted death estimates are based on trend observed in Oregon from 2013 to 2022, rather than 2014 to 2023; and in table 4, to correct the proportion of assisted deaths under the high scenario in year 1 from 0.13% to 0.11%. All impacts derived from the year 1 high scenario have therefore been adjusted across the impact assessment. All corrected sections have a footnote added to explain the adjustments. See the correction notice on the last page of the impact assessment for further information.
