Accepted in full. DHSC has worked with Hospice UK to ask its clinical leaders group network to urgently review their clinical practices against the recommendations. Hospice UK has already updated its Care After Death guidance for the hospice sector recommending that standard operating procedures regarding care of the deceased includes security measures to protect their dignity and safety, which may include CCTV monitoring. Any temporary or externally commissioned body store should meet these same security and governance standards. The guidance also highlights the inquiry's recommendations suggesting the introduction of auditable access control to the area where deceased people are kept and minimise unaccompanied access of non-permitted staff or contractors if possible.
