Note: The medical profession takes the view that the parents consent to medical treatment cannot be delegated. This view is explicit in the Children Act 1989. Thus medical consent
forms have no legal status and a doctor/nurse insisting on the consent of a parent to a particular treatment has the right to do so. For this reason, we do not recommend that Leaders
insist on parents signing the statement above. However, it can be a comfort to medical staff to have general consent in advance from parents or to have a Leader on hand able to sign
forms required by medical authorities.
