Original Note:
In the UK, children have had the legal right to medical care and privacy independent of, or even against, their parents’ wishes since at least 1985, under the principle of Gillick Competence. The UK has never recognised “right to know” or “right to veto” for competent children. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillick_competence
