About

Derbyshire County Council awarded a contract to University Hospitals of Leicester - NHS Trust for the provision of forensic pathology services.

The Derby and Derbyshire Coroner service refers forensic samples to the University Hospitals of Leicester for analysis.

These samples are taken when home office post mortems are undertaken at Leicester Mortuary by a home office registered pathologist acting on behalf of the coroner and police to investigate suspicious deaths and murder cases.

The University Hospitals of Leicester works closely with the mortuary to offer a comprehensive range of laboratory investigations that are constantly updated to account for the analysis of new substances.

The use of University Hospitals of Leicester for this specialist forensic pathology service is the preferred choice of the senior coroner and the police service.

The contract value is AUD 48,000.
