The Deputy will be aware that in December 1998 the Government approved my proposals to establish a working group to undertake a comprehensive review of the coroner service.
The faculty of pathology was represented on this group and I understand that its representatives worked in very close co-operation with the other group members in examining the matters under review, including all issues related to coroners' post-mortems.
I understand that the group has finalised its work and I expect to have its final report shortly. I can assure the Deputy that this report will, on its receipt, be examined by Government as quickly as possible.
