Implementation of the Certification of Death (Scotland) Act 2011 - Consultation on the Expedited "not staying registration" Procedure

Executive Summary

This consultation seeks views on one aspect of the planned changes to the death certification process in Scotland, which will be implemented from spring 2014. Specifically, it seeks views on the arrangements that should be in place for any rare situations where there is a need and a clear rationale for a funeral to proceed within a specific timescale and where that timescale may not be met if the standard review procedure is followed.
