How to persuade a child to take a blood test
Comments
-
I am not for one moment going to say that I understand the above or the other post about the gillick case or the axon case, I plead ignorance on all of it as have no clue where that leaves a 13 year old persuading him to have a blood test??
I know nothing about this and would be very interested to what is deemed competence? As far as I am concerned my DS is fully aware of what it entails etc etc...
For example if the GP assesses your son not to be competent to make the decision then I suppose he could be forced to have the blood test. Not sure that's the road you want to go down though.0
