The Child & Youth Mortality Review Committee (CYMRC) process of data collection relies on information from the district health board (DHB) of each deceased child or youth. To gather this information, the CYMRC has established a local child and youth mortality review group in every DHB.
Funding for local review groups comes via direct contracts between the Health Quality & Safety Commission and the DHBs. The local review groups are now focusing on ongoing support, training, guidance and monitoring.
