I propose to take Questions Nos. 1304, 1305 and 1306 together.

Matters relating to post-mortems do not fall within the remit of my Department. Responsibility for such issues lies with the Coroner Service, which operates under the oversight of the Department of Justice. Accordingly, these queries would be more appropriately directed to that Department.
