%X This article contributes to existing academic commentary on who should decide if a non-Gillick competent child ought to be informed about their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment when their parents and clinicians disagree. A distinction is drawn between dilemmas involving treatment disputes and non-disclosure requests, arguing that the latter is of a different nature and thus requires a different type of expertise. This article argues that parental expertise should be respected and given greater weight than it currently is when a parent¡¯s non-disclosure request is clearly within a child¡¯s best interests or if the request falls into a ¡®Gray Zone¡¯, where it is unclear whether it is in a child¡¯s best interests to be informed
