The coroner's concerns
1. yew tree berries and leaves
“we agreed at present that there was probably a risk of doing more harm than good from any comms put out, we would be very concerned about unintended consequences from comms messages, e.g. highlighting the risk of harm which may in turn provide a source for people to self-harm as a potential route for suicide (and therefore any comms would need to be carefully considered to justify the benefit, so it certainly shouldn't be rushed)”
