Coronavirus Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 March 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Coronavirus Bill.

The Secretary of State will know that a new medical examiner system has been introduced in many areas, including Durham. Their role is to look into deaths in hospitals, so they will be inundated if there is a large number of deaths.

Is there any provision in the Bill that loosens up their role? Otherwise, they will be overwhelmed by the number of examinations that they will have to do.
