In its assessment of the impact on equality of these measures, DHSC has concluded that the policy for death certification reform and the introduction of medical examiners should not lead to any unlawful discrimination, harassment or victimisation of any particular group defined by sex, race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender reassignment or disability.
