“There is an absolute risk in North Yorkshire that we will see practice after practice close and it will be harder and harder to maintain services purely because they are not financially sustainable under the current model.”
What Dr Brian McGregor has said
“Coroners have their own pressures, and I know they are under pressure to do fewer post mortems. It is an area of friction [between coroners and GPs], but it's not an area of conflict. The issue is that many legally qualified coroners don't truly understand that GPs are not always able to offer an adequate cause of death, and old age, particularly in patients that are well, is not always seen as acceptable to general practice.”
