Warwickshire County Council awarded a contract to University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust for forensic toxicology services on behalf of HM Coroner for Warwickshire.

The services involve analysing and reporting on samples such as blood, urine, vitreous humour, and occasionally liver tissue, with standard screens for alcohol, prescription drugs, and recreational drugs, as well as specific tests for substances like carbon monoxide or ketones.

These lab reports provide essential expert evidence to support the Coroner in their duties.

The contract value is AUD 800,000.
