- This longer-form output is a sustained analysis of a large body of material comprised of all reported cases concerning children’s medical treatment since the first in 1976, with key details of the cases captured in the Appendix. The book challenges accepted understandings of children’s medical treatment cases within case law, professional guidance and academic analysis as being exclusively a question of the best interests of the child. It provides a detailed account of professional duties and public responsibilities to children presenting a critical insight from the sustained analysis which has the potential to change the approach in future cases.
