The new form omits reference to the NHS number of the adopted child but otherwise it is the same as the form applicable prior to the coming into force of these Regulations.\nThe Regulations also revoke the Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Adopted Children Register) (Scotland) Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/2091) which previously specified the form of entry.",
