Operation Perth discovered breaches of regulations of the Human Tissue Act in relation to the management and operating practices of the mortuary services, police added.
Deputy Chief Constable Rob Griffin said: “We recognise this will be particularly distressing for affected families who are part of Operation Perth.
“We have contacted the families who we have already identified as being directly impacted by the issues established within the NUH trust mortuaries. As the investigation progresses, we will contact other families who have been directly affected as soon as they are identified.
“If you wish to speak with us, please make contact with us by calling 0115 844 5002 or email [email protected].
“Extensive support also remains available through the Operation Perth page on the Nottinghamshire Police website.”
