UK - Refusing life saving treatment

[CGN83]

Here's an odd one.

Let's just say something goes wrong and someone finds me in a life threatening state.

I've been told several times by the NHS that if I want to die, they won't try to stop me - So with that in mind, I surely have the right to refuse treatment?

I do have SN on order but as time passes I'm losing hope of it reaching me and I'm thinking I may have to go for a more desperate but less guaranteed way out.

Sorry, deleted my message. Misunderstood your post. Too long looking at screens today.

It's usually depends on if the person is conscious and if they've made past attempts or have sh in the past.
