Ms Grace Rothwell:

There are various guidance documents available from both the Health Protection Surveillance Centre and abroad that provide guidance in respect of mortuary facilities and standards for air conditioning, temperature control and so forth. There are also health building notes. When that premises was built in 1991, it complied with the building notes at the time, but the building guidance has since been updated so our facility does not comply. The building that will be on site within the next two years will comply fully with the health building notes that are available. I have met the pathologists in the hospital and have asked them to identify anything else I can do in the interim pending the new build. Equally, the review process will determine any required actions or improvements that we can implement pending the new build.
