More should be done to improve end of life care for Australians but euthanasia is not the answer, Federal Health Minister Sussan Ley says.
"I am the health minister and I don not support euthanasia," Ms Ley told a CEDA lunch in Brisbane on Thursday.
"I, however, recognise that we should be able to do a lot better than we currently do, not in everyone's case but in many, with end of life care."
A regime providing medical cannabis was the first step, she said, while funding provided to the states for palliative care was also being examined.
