    "content": "Thank you. I am sorry, I did not see the light come on to warn me that my time had run out. So, I will try to run through my two minutes carefully and do the highlights. We need to ensure that the Government Chemist helps and assists once the evidence has been taken by the forensic pathologists in the coroner’s office is done. The two issues of helping this office to be robust and independent is the question of its budgeting lines and making sure it is something that will be budgeted for and spoken for through the Consolidated Fund or in some other ways that it is not hampered in doing its duty because of budgeting constraints. Secondly, I want to talk about the balance with regard to the role of the Public Service Commission (PSC) in appointing employees of the Coroners Service. If the Coroner-General cannot appoint the employee or the Council of the Coroners Service cannot employ its own people who are the professionals, then there is a risk. That is an issue that is subject to debate and we need to look at it carefully. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
