REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, DEATHS, MARRIAGES, ETC.

These Regulations amend the Registration of Births, Deaths, Marriages, Etc. (Prescription of Forms) (Scotland) Regulations 1965 by substituting a revised form of medical certificate of cause of death for the existing one. The main changes are–to include provision for the doctorto indicate that he may be in a position later to provide additional information to the Registrar General,to indicate that the procurator fiscal has been informed, andin the case of a death in hospital, to enter the name of the consultant responsible for the deceased as a patient;to extend the question relating to the death of a married woman during or within 6 weeks of pregnancy to include all women, and to include deaths occurring between 6 weeks and a year of pregnancy; andto exclude the name of the deceased and the time and place of death from the certifying clause.
