C/L/566. A critical evaluation of the issue of the competence of minors in relation to their acceptance of medical treatment
- WORDS:
- 1000
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 19.99 GBP
The paper considers the details of English law in relation to the concept of the mature minor being able to draw his or her own conclusions regarding medical treatment. The research also describes how the ability of the minor to exercise sound judgement is partly recognised, meaning that the mature minor does have the ability to exercise autonomy over their medical treatment. Important test-cases are considered – Gillick v West Norfolk and Wisbech Health Authority 1985 and South Glamorgan County Council v W and B 1992 – the study revealing how the ability to refuse treatment has never translated into an active legal provision for a mature minor to veto the decision of medical authorities.

- WORDS:

The purpose of this paper is to assess the degree to which present legal measures effectively safeguard the interests of incompetent patients in relation to healthcare decisions. An essential issue of concern with regards to incompetent patients lies in consent, in the issue of lasting power of attorney, and the degree to which patients are able to make decisions regarding their personal healthcare.

The paper examines the role of doctors and medical authorities, their legal position, and the role of the UK’s Mental Capacity Act, 2005.
