The coroner’s concerns
I am concerned that the Pathology Department remains significantly under resourced. I ask you please to:(1) Review the Consultants staffing levels in the Pathology Department particularly those Consultants dealing with Thoracic work so as to ensure timely and accurate diagnosis of conditions at this regional centre.
