Confidentiality
A child or young person under 16 is entitled
to a confidential consultation with a
doctor, provided s/he makes it clear that
she does not want her parent(s) to be told.
However, a doctor can refuse to discuss the
matter if he is unwilling to accept a
request for confidentiality. A young person
aged 16 and above is entitled to
confidential advice and treatment. |
