SCANNER BOOST FOR BODY HORROR FAMILY

Mum welcomes pilot after overhaul campaign

- BY JENNIFER HYLAND

A MUM whose son had a post-mortem examination without her consent has welcomed a pilot of body-scanning machines which may reduce the need for the invasive procedures.

Ann Stark has been calling for overhaul of the post-mortem system in Scotland after her son Richard had tissue samples removed against her will.

She and husband Gerry want CT scanners and keyhole surgery used as often as possible.
