The coroner's concerns

1. lack of traceability of overseas doctors
“No account in any format was ever provided by Dr A, the Registrar who treated Mrs [name redacted] on 9" April 2017 and sent her home with laxatives and paracetamol. He left the UK in April 2017 to return to his native Sri Lanka to work and thereafter could not be traced”

Stated action

“Action: For the reasons set out above, we do not consider that any action is required to address this point.”
