Purpose

The Registrars service became part of the
Customer Services function in October 2024. This follows from the
Medical Certificate of Cause of Death Regulations 2024 that came
into force on 9 September 2024. Following these changes, a service
review has taken place to ensure that we are delivering a resident
focused out of hours service for death registrations that reflect
the new regulations, meets the needs of our communities and are
also clear and transparent.
