Collection, Transportation and Storage of Deceased Persons
From time to time, Metro North facilities may have need to store deceased persons offsite (i.e. removed from hospital/facility grounds) until the relatives have time to arrange private funeral services.
It is expected that Community Indigenous Subacute Services (CISS) at Brighton will be the primary user of this service as it does not have a morgue on site.
Other Metro North facilities may utilise this service as the needs are identified. At this time, the SOA will exclude the Kilcoy Hospital.
