The Government aim to simplify and strengthen process of death certification
Click here to read news and publications about Government work to simplify and strengthen the process of death certification as part of its response to the recommendations of the Shipman Inquiry. The proposed changes will require the certified cause(s) of all deaths that are not investigated by a coroner to be independently scrutinised and confirmed by a locally appointed medical examiner. The changes will also offer an important opportunity to provide improved information on cause of death to strengthen public health surveillance.
