The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate referral categorisation
“The Trust Guidance for categorising the urgency of a referral appeared imprecise. Further, in that the referral system will often depend on a telephone conversation only, there did not appear to be a default to urgent in a case where a screening assessment was not possible or in a case of doubt or ambiguity.”
