1st July 2014

The purpose of this review was to identify any weaknesses in the systems governing organ retention and make recommendations that would provide assurance that the procedures implemented by COPFS are professional, effective, sensitive and critically that they provide sufficient safeguards to prevent any further instances of nearest relatives not being informed of organ retention following a post-mortem authorised by the Procurator Fiscal.
