What it asks

Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to change the Certification of Death (Scotland) Act 2011 to permit a medical certificate of cause of death (MCCD) to be independently reviewed by a Medical Reviewer from the Death Certification Review Service, where the case has already been reviewed by the Procurator Fiscal but not by a medical professional expert.
