Require Coroners to record when a death resulted from using a prescription drug

Petition Details

Coroners are not currently required to collect details of prescription drugs people were taking at the time of their death or record deaths from prescription drugs.

Additional Information

Coroners routinely list the cause of death as “alcohol/drug related”. We want the Government to require Coroners to record details of prescription drugs people were taking at the time of their death and when prescribed medications played a part in a death. This would allow for accurate public records and statistics as well raising more awareness for safer prescribing practices.
