The section immediately below the one you copied explains that you have to have the child’s permission GeandmaC7.
Children's rights, capacity and consent

‘Children have the same legal rights over their data as adults. The GP surgery must get the child's consent before giving access to their online GP services, if the child is able to understand and make an informed decision. This is called having capacity.

Children aged 11 or over are usually considered to have the capacity to consent, or refuse access, unless for example they have a medical condition or learning disability that affects their understanding.’

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

I would have expected 15 or 16 …..11 is very young

My Daughter has just been told that because my Grand-Daughter has now reached the age of 11 her own Mother cannot now access her own Daughters Medical Record without the Childs permission? Is that true?
