mandate

commission to act

EXAMPLE 1 A request for care means that an individual asks for help by care provider. But it is combined with the authorisation for the care provider to access the necessary care resources including documentation and deliver those services requested by the individual. Such a request contains a mandate given to care.

Note 1 to entry: A mandate is assigned by someone or as the consequence of legislation. It is always an obligation to do something together with the associated authority to do that. If a mission is given to somebody, this actor needs authority to perform what is necessary to fulfil the mission.
