Recommendation
Part 2: Certification of death and authorisation of cremation
Recommendation · verbatim
The Committee is supportive of the changes proposed in Part 2 of the Bill, noting that allowing interested persons to request a review of a MCCD even when it has already been randomly selected for review will make the process more fair and that removing the need for further authorization when someone has died outwith Scotland but within the UK will avoid unnecessary delays and duplication of work.
