Introduction

This section focuses on information giving and decision-making between patients, their families and the healthcare team. There are blurred boundaries between decision-making within the health care team.

Where possible the literature has been explored but by the nature of this topic a large proportion is taken up by moral and legal review. There are, however, very useful research themes that come from this review and are discussed in the conclusion. It has to recognised that moral, legal and cultural influences have a strong bearing on this subject area and I have written mainly from a United Kingdom (UK) perspective.
