NOTICE-DUTIES UNDER THE BIRTHS AND DEATHS REGISTRATION ORDINANCE (CAP 174)
By section 20 of the Births and Deaths Registration Ordinance, Chapter 174, it
is enacted that whenever a registered medical practitioner has been in
attendance during the last illness of a deceased person such practitioner
shall, subject to the following qualification, sign and give to a qualified
informant of the death a certificate of the cause of death, and including a
statement as to whether any, and if so what, anaesthetic was administered
during the said illness. The qualification is that the said practitioner shall
not sign the certificate unless he has personally viewed the body of that
person and is satisfied that death has occurred or, if the death has occurred
in a hospital, he has received a notice from another registered medical
practitioner stating that the other practitioner has personally viewed that
body and is satisfied that death has occurred. The informant is bound to
deliver the certificate to a registrar.
Persons qualified to be informants for the registration of the death, and to
whom only this certificate should be given-
1 A RELATIVE of the deceased present at the death.
2 A RELATIVE of the deceased in attendance during the last illness.
3 A person present at the death.
4 A person in attendance during the last illness.
5 The occupier of the house in which the death occurred.
6 An inmate of the house in which the death occurred.
7 The person causing the body of the deceased to be buried.
Penalty for failing to give information within the 24 hours (in which
travelling time and general holidays as defined by the General Holidays
Ordinance (Chapter 149) shall not be included) next following death is $1000
fine or 6 months' imprisonment.
Informants must be prepared to state accurately to the registrar or a district
registrar the following particulars-
(1) the date and place of death;
(2) the surname and full names of deceased;
(3) the correct age of deceased; and
(4) the rank, profession, or occupation of deceased and nationality so far as
is known. [If deceased is a child or an unmarried person without occupation or
property the full names and rank or profession of the father will be required
(except in the case of illegitimate children); if a wife or widow those of the
husband or deceased husband.]
_______________
PART III
NOTICE-DUTIES UNDER THE CORONERS ORDINANCE (Cap 504)
1. By section 4 of, and Part 2 of Schedule 1 to, the Coroners Ordinance (
Cap 504), it is enacted that where the death to which a certificate of the
cause of death relates is a reportable death within the meaning of that
Ordinance, the registered medical practitioner who-
(a) signs that certificate;
(b) if no such certificate is so signed, attended the deceased during his
last illness, comes under a duty to make a report of that death to the
coroner as soon as is reasonably practicable after it comes to the
knowledge of the practitioner that the death is a reportable death and
submit a copy of the report to the Commissioner of Police at the same
time.
2. The various types of reportable deaths are specified in Part 1 of Schedule
1 to the Coroners Ordinance ( Cap 504). They are-
(1) Any death of a person where a registered medical practitioner is unable to
accurately state the medical cause of the death in the certificate of the
cause of death.
(2) Any death of a person (excluding a person who, before his death, was
diagnosed as having a terminal illness) where no registered medical
practitioner has attended the person during his last illness within 14 days
prior to his death.
(3) Any death of a person where an accident or injury (sustained at any time)
caused the death.
(4) Any death of a person where a crime or suspected crime caused the death.
(5) Any death of a person where-
(a) an anaesthetic caused the death;
(b) the person was under the influence of a general anaesthetic at the
time of the death; or
(c) the death occurred within 24 hours after the administering of a
general anaesthetic.
(6) Any death of a person where-
(a) an operation, whether or not lawful, caused the death; or
(b) the death occurred within 48 hours after a major operation (as
determined in accordance with prevailing medical practice), whether or
not lawful.
(7) Any death of a person where-
(a) an occupational disease, within the meaning of section 3 of the
Employees' Compensation Ordinance ( Cap 282), or pneumoconiosis,
within the meaning of section 2(1) of the Pneumoconiosis
(Compensation) Ordinance ( Cap 360), caused the death; or
(b) having regard to the nature of the last illness of the person, the
medical cause of the death and the nature of any known occupation or
employment, or previous occupation or employment, of the person, it is
reasonable to believe that the death may be connected, either directly
or indirectly, with any such occupation or employment.
(8) Any still birth where-
(a) there is doubt as whether the still born foetus was alive or dead at
the time of birth; or
(b) there is a suspicion that the still birth might not have been a still
birth but for the wilful act or neglect of any person.
(9) Any death of a woman where the death occurred within 30 days after-
(a) the birth of her child;
(b) an operation of abortion, whether or not lawful; or
(c) a miscarriage.
(10) Any death of a deceased where-
(a) septicaemia caused the death; and
(b) the primary cause of the septicaemia is unknown.
(11) Any death of a person where there is a suspicion the death was caused by
suicide.
(12) Any death of a person where the death occurred whilst the person was in
official custody.
(13) Any death of a person where the death occurred during the course of the
discharge of his duty by a person having statutory powers of arrest or
detention.
(14) Any death of a person where the death occurred in the premises of a
department of the Government any public officer of which has statutory powers
of arrest or detention.
(15) Any death of a person where the person-
(a) is a patient, within the meaning of section 2 of the Mental
Health Ordinance ( Cap 136), and the death occurs in a mental hospital
within the meaning of that section; or
(b) is a patient the subject of an order under section 31 or 36 of that
Ordinance and the death occurs in a hospital other than such a mental
hospital.
(16) Any death of a person where the death occurred in any premises in which
the care of persons is carried on for reward or other financial consideration
(other than in any premises which comprise a hospital, nursing home or
maternity home registered under the Hospitals, Nursing
Homes and Maternity Homes Registration Ordinance ( Cap 165)).
(17) Any death of a person where the death was caused by homicide.
(18) Any death of a person where the death was caused by the administering of
a drug or poison by any other person.
(19) Any death of a person where ill-treatment, starvation or neglect caused
the death.
(20) Any death of a person which occurred outside Hong Kong where the body of
the person is brought into Hong Kong. 3. Subject to certain defences, under
the Coroners Ordinance ( Cap 504), a registered medical practitioner who
fails to discharge the duty referred to in paragraph 1 commits an offence
under that Ordinance and may thereby render himself liable to a fine at level
1 and to 14 days imprisonment under that Ordinance. (Replaced G.N.A. 318 of
