A parent's view
The hierarchy of choosing who it should be is ridiculous and does not serve any useful purpose. As my wife is older than me no-one would speak to me or give me any information about my daughter, even after she had expressed a wish for both of us to be involved in her care. At 2am after she had taken another overdose the AMHP refused to speak with me when I was in the hospital and I had to wake my wife and get her consent for information to be given to me. I would drive my daughter to appointments but was not allowed to be told when or where they were to be held.The nearest relative should be allowed to include more than one person where there is no conflict between them.
