Review of Coroners Services

As stated in the Alan Milburn article and as reported in previously, the Home Office appointed a team to carry out a review of the coroners system in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The chair of the review team Mr Tom Luce and their Secretary Mr Mike Gallagher last visited PITY II in October of 2001.

We have been informed that PITY II has been chosen to be part of the reference group that has now been set up to assist in the review. It is not intended at this stage to meet as one body, but for members of the review team to visit at intervals. The next visit is proposed for the 12th of June 2002.

To reiterate what was stated in previously, 'the review team would welcome any input from individuals with views and experiences that they would like to share with them. If you would like to send a summary of your experiences of the coroner system and any changes that you would like to see, please do so'.

The name and address once again is:
