ES20352

The Committee noted the potential risks associated with the provision of the Coroner’s Service. It also noted the reference in the report to the dysfunctionality of the Uniform System. A Member stated that with respect to the provision of the Coroner’s Service, this was no longer a risk, but rather an issue. The Director agreed with this. The Chairman asked who would make the decision with respect to the Coroner’s Service. The Director answered that he suspected that this would filter back through to the Executive as a change to the Budget. At the present time the Coroner’s Service had not presented any evidence base for their proposed increased in costs and without this the Director was not going to agree to any cost increases at this time.

RESOLVED that the Public Protection and Enforcement Risk Register Report be noted.
