dose a farther who dose not live with the mother and child have the right to refuse a medical operation even though he was never married to the mother of the child ?
I understand that it takes consent from only one with parental responsabilty to allow any medical procedure to go ahead.
Why would you not consent to a medical procedure? Is it on medical or religious grounds?
If your child requires medical attention wouldnt you want it to go ahead?
Regards,
Dave
whats going on is my daughter is being tested for intolerance to glucose and that she has always got the runs and having bad behavior problems but when ever she stays with me wich is every other weekend she has none of this even when we had her for the week shes really well behaved and dosnt have the runs the doctors apparnetly are say it could an intolorence to glucose and they are going to do blood test wich is fine but if they come back as negertive or inconclusive then they will need to put a camera down into her stomoch and possibly take a sample of her stomach lining wich i wouldnt want to happen as i really dont thing she has a problem as shes fine whenever shes with me but what can i do if it only takes one parents signiture for an op?
Is there any way you can discuss this with her doctor? Do you have Parental Responsibility? If you are on your daughters birth certificate and she was born after December 1st 2003 you will automatically have PR and can insist the GP discusses your daughters health with you. If you can do that you can voice your concerns and ask for it to be put on record that when she stays with you, which is very regular, she displays none of the symptoms.
i have not thought of that thank you and yes she was born after 2003 wich i did not also no thanks very much for your help i will get to see her doctor very soon
