He stated that arrangements were to be made for himself, the Deputy Chair (Councillor Roger Davison) and the Policy and Improvement Officer to discuss this issue with Linda Dale, Medico-Legal Centre Manager and Christopher Dorries, City Coroner, prior to formally considering the question at a future meeting of the Committee. |
