(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order confers power on NHS trusts to scrutinise any deaths in England (whether or not the death takes place in a NHS trust’s area), where the Coroner has no duty to investigate, or there is some doubt as to whether the death must be notified to the relevant senior coroner.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for the instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
