The coroner's concerns
1. lack of awareness of how the bag should be used
“The Red Bag travelled with Mr [name redacted] and was found with his clothes when he died. Despite being with him there is no evidence that anyone looked in the bag to check for relevant information. This being the case it appears to me that there is lack of awareness of how the bag should be used, but also, as no enquires were separately made for care plan and other relevant documentation, that the thrust of the NICE guidance for improving patient care and safety is not being addressed systematically”
