The purpose of the conclusions drawn is to assist those legitimately interested in the circumstances of the death to look to the future in order that they, armed with hindsight, the evidence led at the inquiry, and the determination of the inquiry, may be persuaded to take steps to prevent any recurrence of such a death in the future.
