If however you mean the public do not have access to the indexes, yes,

Which seems a larger number of places than was available when I was
first obtaining certificates, and had to pay to access the indexes in
Somerset House.

And don't other libraries still have most (but not the latest years) of the
indexes on microfiche formerly known as St Catherine's Index?

Many have copies of the GRO indexes which I have never seen labelled
with any saint's name. Many also have public access to Ancestry
Library Edition thus taking care of the newer computerised indexes
with both Ancestry and FreeBMD together providing a degree of
computerised searching of the "paper" indexes.
