Once the functionality of acting on behalf of a minor has been introduced, healthcare service providers will be able to enter the following into the system
- the decision-making capacity of the minor
- the will of a minor who is mature enough to make decisions concerning the disclosure of information to their guardians.
Based on this information, MyKanta determines whether it has permission to display information to the minor's guardians. With the new functionality, acting on behalf of a minor in MyKanta will no longer be limited to guardians of children under the age of 10 and guardians will be able to use MyKanta to act on behalf of minors of any age.
Guardians will be able to view all information concerning their children, unless they have been specifically prohibited from doing so. Read more about the impact of the transition period on how information will be displayed on the page for acting on behalf of someone else.
For more information on how to prepare for the extension of use, please see the Instructions for extension of use.
Introducing the functionality for acting on behalf of a minor does not require a deployment test.
