Would it, for instance, get a priority appointment with a GP? Knowledge of such a Covenant could simply be denied on the grounds that no one had actually been informed of it in the first place. Do you have any more information? Thanks, Kim.ps - of course it could just apply to hospital in-patient treatment.
