SCHEDULECERTIFICATE OF STILL-BIRTH
Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Registration of Births, Still-births, Deaths and Marriages (Prescription of Forms) (Scotland) Regulations 1965 “the principal Regulations”).
The Regulations substitute an amended definition of “still-born child” and “still-birth” and a revised certificate of still-birth in the principal Regulations.
The amendments are consequential upon the change in the definition of still-birth in the Still-Birth (Definition) Act 1992 (c. 29).
As a consequence, these Regulations revoke—
(a)provisions in the Registration of Births, Still-births, Deaths and Marriages (Prescription of Forms) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1984 (S.I. 1984/43) but set out the previous form of the certificate of still-birth; and
(b)the Registration of Births, Still-births, Deaths and Marriages (Prescription of Forms) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2045) which omitted to change the definition in the principal Regulations. These Regulations therefore replace the 1992 Regulations.
Section 56(1) of the Act was amended by the Still-Birth (Definition) Act 1992 c. 29, section 1(2).
