Coroners and Justice Bill
12:00 pm
Professor Furness: From the perspective of the Royal College of Pathologists, may I pick up on a point that Mr. Rebello made? We are a little concerned that the Bill seems to put the emphasis for the office of the chief coroner on the resolution of disputes and appeals. That is clearly important, but our concern is the variation in practice in coroner’s courts around the country, which Mr. Rebello touched on. We hoped that the coroner’s office would bring a degree of harmonisation. We, too, are concerned that we cannot see the teeth or the drive in the Bill to produce that harmonisation.
