Closed petition Review the death certification reforms which came into place on 9th Sept 2024

Have a complete rethink and do something about this new system brought in last year.

More details

Some families are having to wait 2 to 3 weeks before they are able to plan a funeral because of the need for an independent medical examiner to certify cause of death after this has been done by a GP. We believe it can be distressing for all concerned and can leave families in a state of limbo.
