An “essential” post-mortem report has been delivered to prosecutors in the case against the man co-accused of murdering Gin Gin teenager Pheobe Bishop.

I can’t access this, is there anything more than just they received the report?

This is most likely the 'final' post-mortem report, when the results of all the necessary testings are in, and the post-mortem report is 'finished and done'. The prosecutors have had preliminary report, but this is what they need to continue with the case.
I checked how long it takes to get the final forensic post-mortem report in Sweden and Finland, and it says 3 - 6 months, so I don't think it seems a too long time in this case.

OT: Sometimes it can take months for the final post-mortem report even in an 'ordinary, non-suspicious' death, if there's some tests needed. I once worked at a pathology department at a hospital, and it could take ages before a report was finally filed and done.

It says that the case has been adjourned until 23rd March - to give James Wood's defence time to review the report and make decisions.

Also, James Wood won't be required to appear at the next court date.
