Create a national register of homeless deaths in Scotland

Create and maintain a unified register of the deaths of homeless people in Scotland, bringing together data currently collected by 32 local authorities.

Why is this important?

This unified register would allow the lives of homeless people to be remembered and valued, with the circumstances of their deaths investigated and recorded, to prevent these personal tragedies from being repeated across Scotland.

It's positive to read in the Sunday Post that the National Records of Scotland are in talks to record data on those who die whilst homeless: https://www.sundaypost.com/fp/talks-under-way-to-ensure-scotlands-official-registers-detail-deaths-of-homeless-people/ It's a really vital development for Scotland.
