Give Next of Kin Named on Death Certificate Automatic Access to Medical Records
Amend the Access to Health Records Act 1990 so that the next of kin named on the death certificate has the legal right to access the deceased person’s full medical records, without needing to be the executor, administrator of the estate, or prove a legal claim. Families deserve peace of mind.
Make it a specific criminal offence not to notify the authorities of a death
I would like it to become a specific criminal offence to not report a dead body or a death if you are in the company of said individual when they pass or if you are aware of one.
Require cemeteries to give more rights to family members to erect a headstone
We think family members should be able to give a loved one a headstone, including where they are not the owners of the plot. At the moment they may not be able to unless certain circumstances are met.
Require headstones to be laid flat & legislate for regular safety checks
Require all headstones to be laid flat and properly secured to the ground. We think there should be rules set out in legislation about how headstones are safety checked and the frequency of these checks.
