Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the impact of clause 128 of the Health and Social Care Act 2022 on delays to the death certification process; and what steps he is taking to reduce those delays.
Section 128 of the Health and Care Act 2022 refers to the ‘Health Services Safety Investigations relating to Wales and Northern Ireland’, which does not relate to death certification.
