The Death Certification Review Service (DCRS) is temporarily changing the way that applications for repatriation are administered and will suspend the need to certify documents.\u00a0 It will still be necessary to obtain authorisation for repatriation from DCRS for these cases.<\/p>\n

Removing the requirement to certify these documents, means that DCRS will be able to process applications for repatriation electronically and there is no need for applicants or funeral directors to attend the DCRS office to produce the originals.<\/p>\n

NHS24 is located in the same premises as DCRS.\u00a0 Making this small administrative change to applications for repatriation will allow medical reviewers to work on line as documents will no longer be reviewed physically but electronically.\u00a0 This will allow NHS24 additional space if required.<\/p>\n

DCRS will continue to carry out the repatriation procedure and applications should be made electronically.\u00a0 DCRS, once satisfied that everything is in order with the application, will authorise the repatriation and subsequent cremation or burial.\u00a0 Enquiries about this change should be made to DCRS via dcrs@nhs24.scot.nhs.uk or 03001231898.<\/p>\n

Please make your colleagues and members aware of these temporary changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
