How does this make sense? Why would there be a delay in letting hearses collect bodies?

There might be more need for a post mortem if someone has died waiting for a bed, and maybe a wait for the pm, but the undertaker will not be called until a death certificate has been issued.

Councils had temporary mortuaries prepared during Covid but most weren't needed, so why would this be happening now?

Excess deaths generally (non covid)?

Pretty certain I’d read the other day that there was delays in PM’s taking place due to a shortage of Pathologists.

Add in excess winter deaths and it could be that. I’m with you though as it’s probably nothing the NHS doesn’t experience most winters.

You used it to describe the tax payers contribution to the royal family in the Meghan thread. I said it was a great expression and one politicians should use more.

Yes. As far back as September we had to wait longer than normal because there was a backlog. They were running about a week late at the time but I imagine it's exacerbated as we get into winter season.
