The Home Office has apologised to Hillsborough families who only learned of a new review into their relatives' deaths months after it started.
A new independent review considering what went wrong with the original pathology report was announced on Wednesday, October 5. The review, investigating the failings of the original Hillsborough inquests to ensure similar mistakes aren't made in the future, began on July 1 following the conclusion of the criminal trials.
But the families of Hillsborough victims said they were not notified of the review until the day of the official announcement. The families slammed the Home Office decision to not notify them about the review. Charlotte Hennessy, who lost her dad Jimmy in the disaster, said: "Where is the consideration for those bereaved families? It's just so disrespectful."
