It is appalling the number of deceased people who remain on household data in every county. People are not taken off databases. A number of letters are returned for that reason. That has been happening for years. Is there co-operation between Departments on the matter? We are talking about a centralised system using joined-up thinking rather than having schizophrenia in government. Local authority registers that I have seen hold incorrect data. Will the database used by Capita be a national database that is used by other Departments?
