The coroner's concerns
1. lack of national guidance on monitoring and prescribing for hepatitis B reactivation prevention
“There is a lack of national guidance regarding which services should be responsible for the monitoring and prescribing in relation to hepatitis B reactivation prevention”
2. lack of specialised commissioning for post-screening engagement of hepatitis B patients
“There is a large population of patients who are found to have hepatitis B infection through opt-out screening in Emergency Departments but there is a lack of specialised commissioning to maintain subsequent engagement with services”
