We have talked about delays in the processing of claims and it has come up quite a lot. One of the areas where delays are occurring is where there is an adverse outcome, a person has died and there are delays at inquests. Is that a feature in dealing with claims and subsequently, because there is a delay? There is no time period in which an inquest has to be held. Has the agency raised any concerns in that area with the Department?
