Can I just ask.....

I didn't know that .
It seems young .
I'm concerned about undiagnosed neurodivergence in a child ,who is unable to comprehend the matter fully .

Casdon has touched on this in her post .

Some years ago ,my father had something described as a "a cardiac incident."
I asked the Doctor to clarify the diagnosis .
I was told that I wasn't allowed to know a lnd that he understood all about his condition .
He did not .
Within days he had another illness and I was severely reprimanded for not knowing what the cardiac incident was by a paramedic and then ,by a doctor on A and E .

My point is/was girls don't get Themselves pregnant. How about if a boy gets a girl pregnant!

Totally agree Wazzam. That phrase implies blame or judgement but a girl cannot physically ‘get herself’ pregnant unless she’s using donated sperm! If my parent had that attitude I certainly wouldn’t want them to have access to my medical records.

I fully realise that a girl cannot get herself pregnant without male semen. I thought it was pretty obvious what I was trying to infer, perhaps I need to expand exactly what I mean for people to understand although other people have not passed comment on it like you and two others have.

So if an 11 yr + child falls ill/ has an accident etc a parent may not be able to advise medics on the scene whether or not that child is taking any meds or has any health problems - presumably until the child is in a hospital and record can be accessed?

Parents, or guardians with legal parental responsibility, CAN access online for the under 16s.

Scroll down; it says

"Before giving you access, the GP surgery may need to check:
<...>
that the child consents to your access (agrees to it) or lacks capacity to consent, if they are aged 11 or over

I remember being very peeved when the dentist would not let me join in the discussion about orthodontic work being considered to my 15 year olds teeth.

That seems odd, Whitewavemark2, as you would probably be the one paying for it!

In UK, The NHS provides free orthodontic treatment to children deemed to require it.

The law is an ass 😒
