Ms Grace Rothwell:

I am happy today that there is adequate refrigeration capacity, that it is an appropriate place for relatives to view remains, and that we have put in place immediate procedures to ensure that it is a safe place. I am also mindful, however, that the structure was built in 1991 and, in the context of post mortems, the post mortem room is not fit for purpose. I believe that the primary concern of the Office of the State Pathologist relates to potential contamination of evidence. The post mortem room is not in accordance with air conditioning and air handling. That is the specific issue for the State pathologist.
