Feedback to the chief coroner - an update

Details

Thank you to all of those who attended our Inquest Forums earlier this year (February), and provided comments and feedback in relation to the coronial process. Your comments and issues were collated into one document (copies have been circulated to attendees- please contact us if you would like a copy) and passed on to the chief coroner via the NHS LA.

We have been advised that the NHS LA is now working with the chief coroner to prepare a guidance note for coroners when dealing with healthcare inquests. We hope that this will address some of the points raised by you and will assist in making the process that little bit smoother. Once we hear anything further we will let you know.
