Court Review: Medical Care

At placement review and permanency hearings, the court reviews the child’s healthcare including:

  • Medical condition and any diagnostic tests.
  • Medical treatment and child’s progress.
  • Emergency medical care, injury or acute illness.
  • Whether the child is receiving appropriate medical care.
  • Activities the child should avoid (for his or her safety) or activities the child should adopt (like a healthy lifestyle for example, which may include 30 minutes of outdoor activity.)
