I don't see how it would work either Jaysay.......Mancie, who would do the checks?
Just being on a database isn't something that would check the physical status of someone........and the old lady would have had to obtain an ID card....which she probably would not have done.

There were agencies who knew of this lady's existence(so she was already on some sort of database,the immediate one that springs to mind is DWP) but it didn't stop her demise, or for that matter, recognise that she was deceased.
As far as I am aware databases rely on human input.

Another question for you Mancie.....would all carriers of the ID card be checked on a regular basis, regardless of their age? And would this be done by a sort of ID police force?
Just interested in what you feel is appropriate.
