Assessment form results

The following sections of this report present data obtained from the assessment form (i.e. the advisors' assessment of each of the 1,691 cases). This includes an assessment of the:

  • Supporting documentation; and,
  • Autopsy report (demographic data, clinical history, external and internal examination, tissue retention, cause of death formulation).

Data from the organisational questionnaire has been interspersed in the relevant sections. When correlating the mortuary data with assessment form data, only those cases where an organisational questionnaire had been returned from the mortuary in which the autopsy was performed (80%, 1,360/1,691) have been used.
