Prevention of Future Deaths Report
Following the recent inquest into the death of Maeve Boothby O’Neill, the coroner, Deborah Archer, has written a Regulation 28 Prevention of Future Deaths Report.
Report

The Times Coroner demands urgent action to prevent further deaths from ME
"Deborah Archer, who concluded in the summer that Boothby O’Neill, 27, died of malnutrition as a result of ME, has called on Wes Streeting, NHS officials and other health bodies to take urgent action. She wrote in a Regulation 28 report: “During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern. In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken.”"
