PLEA gratefully acknowledges our primary core funder the Law Foundation of Saskatchewan for their continuing and generous support of our organization.
A health care directive is used when you cannot make your own decisions or when you cannot tell people what treatment you want or do not want.
A directive cannot permit active euthanasia or assisted suicide.
A health care directive can cover decisions about matters like…
The law sets out the requirements for making a valid health care directive.
Health care professionals can only follow your directive if they know you have one and what it contains.
If you choose not to create a health care directive the law sets out who can make health care decisions for you when you cannot.
PLEA can provide you with information to help you understand many legal matters you, a family member or friend may be facing.
