The coroner's concerns
1. inaccessible patient information across county boundaries
“mental health professionals cannot access patient information which is held on the computerised systems of mental health services outside their own county”
2. lack of shared clinical records after referral
“key paperwork, such as the clinical record of the s.136 assessment, is not routinely shared on the making of such referrals”
