The coroner's concerns
1. lack of clear guidance on drug influence
“The earlier policy lacked clarity or guidance in how the phrase”
2. unclear drug influence terminology
“The 2015 policy retains that same unclear terminology i.e.”
3. delayed medical assessment of drug effects
“An assessment as to the effect of any drugs is best assessed a by a Heath Care Professional”
4. delayed identification of drug effects
“Earlier identification of these matters may prevent death particularly since treatment for many drugs, particularly cocaine, is symptomatic”
