Allow all parents (together or not) access to their child’s medical records
Change the law so that GP’s, doctors and hospitals are able to give out a child’s medical records to every parent even if they have split up.
My son was taken into hospital by an ambulance and was in hospital all day but I am not allowed to know from an medical expert what happened while he was there. As a parent you should have the right to all medical information about your child.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Parents who have parental responsibility already have a right to access their children's medical records. This will only normally be refused if the child or young person is aged 13 or over and does not give consent for this information to be disclosed.
