Feedback & supportAny patient who has made a directive may, in the presence of at least one witness, revoke the directive —
patient
“patient” means any person (whether or not he or she is undergoing any medical treatment, care or therapy) who is not mentally disordered, who has attained 21 years of age and who has made or desires to make a directive in accordance with this Act;
in writing;
orally; or
in any other way in which the patient can communicate.
As far as may be practicable, the revocation must be registered with the Registrar.
Registrar
“Registrar” means the Registrar of Advance Medical Directives appointed under section 6 and includes a Deputy Registrar and an Assistant Registrar;
Where a revocation is made in accordance with subsection (1), the patient (if practicable) and each witness must notify the Registrar in writing of the revocation with full particulars of the name, address and telephone number of the patient and of the witness and the time, date and place where the revocation was made.
It is the duty of any other person who has witnessed a revocation, whether made in writing, orally or in any other way in which the patient can communicate, to inform the Registrar of that fact.
Upon receipt of the notice of revocation (if there is more than one notice, the first notice), the Registrar must issue to that person an acknowledgment in the prescribed form and must mark the directive as a revoked directive in the register.
