Doctors "nice little earner"
Apparently in the lead-up(somewhere in the hospital stages) to the issue of a death certificate it is required that the signatures of two independent doctors are put on paper before the certificate is issued, for this there is a fee of �142 (in my Dads case april/'08). Apparently,It is legal (a doctors perk if you like) but can anyone shed more light/ expand on this for me.grateful for any explanations.
