So that, as I've said, think about it perhaps in your middle years as part of good adulting, if I can put it that way, rather than it being at the sense of a time of crisis, as you mentioned.

But we also have an expedited route, rarely called upon as it happens, in case somebody needs an EPA, needs to get it over the line in a hurry.

Perhaps when there's a prospect of imminent surgery or something like that, we're there to help.

The campaign with this theme where it's our focus really is about looking at ordinary relationships.

Real people appear in the campaign saying that, you know me, you know what I'm like and therefore I would want you.

I would want you to be my authorised decision maker.

The other tool, by the way, I might just mention, you can't plan ahead by way of an EPA for medical treatment.

a separate document arises and that's an advanced healthcare directive.

A template is available on our website and the steps aren't quite the same.

There's a bit less to it actually, but we would encourage people to do both.
