As far as I am aware, the patient or their family has to agree to it.
We were asked when the m.i.l. Went into a home.
Was asked when my dad was taken into hospital a few weeks before he died, I also had to inform the home he was in.
When he did die, one of the care staff tried to resuss him.
The doctor who certified him dead, myself and the care worker had to have a meeting. I was asked if I wanted it to be taken further as she had gone against the DNR order. Needless to say I just asked to let it go.
