A consent given under section 201 in relation to a patient or other person has the same effect as if it were given:
(a) in the case of a patient or other person of or above the age of 14 years--by the patient or other person as if the patient or other person had capacity to give the consent, or
(b) in the case of a patient or other person under the age of 14 years--by the parents or guardian of the patient or other person.
