QUESTION PREVIEW
Scenario
Sipho is twelve years old and is brought to hospital by his guardian, complaining of
abdominal pain. It is established that Sipho rather urgently needs an operation
(appendicectomy) to have his appendix removed.
(1) Who must consent to the appendicectomy in terms of the relevant legislation? (8)
(2) One of the general requirements for consent to be valid is that it must be given in the proper form where such form is
prescribed by law. Is the form in which consent has to be given in this case prescribed by law? If so, set out the legal
requirements so prescribed. (5)
(3) Sipho’s teacher calls the hospital, requesting detailed information regarding his state of health, the diagnosis, the type of
treatment he is getting, the visitors he is receiving and the prognosis. Is the hospital at liberty to divulge all this information to
Sipho’s teacher at their sole discretion or do they need anybody’s consent in the circumstances of the case? (4)
