(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Registration of Births and Deaths (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2024 (S.I. 2024/885) (“the 2024 Regulations”) to insert transitional provisions. It comes into force on the same day.
The transitional provisions inserted disapply specified provisions of the 2024 Regulations in circumstances where a death has not been registered under Part 2 of the Births and Deaths Registration Act 1953 (c. 20) prior to the date on which the 2024 Regulations come into force, a registered medical practitioner has signed a certificate in relation to the death in accordance with regulation 40 (certificate of cause of death) of the Registration of Births and Deaths Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/2088) and the Coroner is not under a duty to hold an inquest under section 6 of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (c. 25).
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
