title: Proposals for legal reform in the coronial process 3.
abstract: In the final article reviewing the role and function of the coronial service Richard Griffith and Cassam Tengnah consider the proposals for reforming the system to take account of the recommendations of the Shipman Inquiry and the Bristol Royal Infirmary Inquiry. The Government's proposals are in the form of a Draft Bill that allows district nurses to consider the impact of the reforms on their practice and provides an opportunity to contribute to the debate on reform before it is presented to parliament.
