Cap. 525 Art. 28Parent - child bonding.

When a person who is still a minor is admitted to a licensed facility, the admitting licensed facility shall, within reasonable limits, grant flexible visiting hours to parents to minimise the effects of parent-child separation, unless the responsible specialist in consultation with the other members of the multidisciplinary team, believes that such separation is in the best interests of the minor: Provided that when neither of the parents of the minor is the responsible carer, this article shall apply to the responsible carer: Provided further that if there is a potential or real conflict of interest between the minor and the parent or the responsible carer, the Commissioner may, after consultation with the multidisciplinary team, direct that access to the minor is not to be provided to the parent or the responsible carer and the Commissioner may refer the case to the competent authority for the commencement of proceedings for an interim care order and the appointment of a tutor.
