We learned this week that the Duke of Edinburgh died of old age. Hardly a startling revelation.
He was, after all, 99 and had suffered from various ailments including a heart condition for which he had been admitted to hospital a few weeks earlier. But the official death certificate signed by Sir Huw Thomas, the head of the royal medical household, made no mention of that. It declared simply that the cause of death was ‘old age’. GPs are usually discouraged from doing that.
When the British Geriatrics Society commissioned a study of 4,300 deaths over a period of two years, it found that only 98 of them were attributed solely to old age by the doctors who signed the death certificates. If the grandest doctor in the land is prepared to do just that, it suggests there might be an interesting change afoot.
