The coroner's concerns
1. delayed transfer of medical records
“transfer of the notes from the deceased's Nottingham general practitioner to the Leicestershire general practitioner took 11 months as reported to me by the GP”
2. delayed transfer of medical records
“notes still take about 16 weeks to be transferred between GP's”
3. missed medical information
“Important information about the patient's medical history may be missed particularly if the patient is not able to communicate effectively with the new GP”
