Medical Consent
By signing I hereby understand my rights as a parent/caregiver and request that all medication be administered to my son/moko as described and directed throughout this form. I give permission for the exchange of information between his GP and the school nurse and I understand that I must supply the school with no more than a three month (1 school term) supply of medication (including Asthma Inhalers). If you choose for your son/moko to stay with their home town GP, and they get sick while at school with their home town GP, and they get sick while at school, the student will be taken to the Hastings Medical Centre as a casual and this will incur a casual fee. Alternatively they can be enrolled with our medical service - Hauora Heretaunga (for more information, see the school nurse). Sports injuries will be covered by ACC.
