Self-Certification Could Change Due to Swine Flu
With an increase in cases of swine flu the Department of Work and Pensions are considering emergency plans to change the self-certification rules from seven to 14 days. The plans are undergoing review by the Government’s Civil Contingency Committee. The regulations would have a sunset clause and would only remain law for six months unless agreed that it needed to be extended.
