Independent report. David Fuller inquiry: phase 1 report (28 November 2023)

Summary

This is the phase 1 report by the independent inquiry into the issues raised by the David Fuller case.

The inquiry has been established to investigate how David Fuller was able to carry out inappropriate and unlawful actions in the mortuary of Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust and why they went apparently unnoticed, for so long.

A phase 2 report, looking at the broader national picture and the practices and procedures in place to protect the deceased in the NHS and other settings, is planned for publication at a later date.
