NOTE: The Medical Profession takes the view that a 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 the Parent or Guardian has the right to do so. For this reason we do not recommend that Leaders insist on Parents signing the statement above. At the same time, 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 the medical authorities. (This statement is in bold print as suggested by Scout Headquarters).
