In 2011 a report by the All Party Parliamentary Carbon Monoxide Group (APPCOG) identified a key role for coroners to support increased detection of CO poisoning in England and Wales. The report recommended that “The Government should ensure that all coroners’ post-mortems routinely test for carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) levels”.
“By law, where CO is suspected as a cause of death, cases are referred to the coroner, but routine testing for CO exposure is not required. In April 2019 NHS Improvement announced a national program to introduce a new medical examiner role at all hospital trusts to provide independent scrutiny of all deaths.
