Health Secretary Sajid Javid appointed NHS executive Sir Jonathan Michael to lead the probe.
He said it would ensure effective CCTV coverage in mortuaries.
He also said Justice Secretary Dominic Raab is investigating whether the penalties available for such “appalling” sexual offences are adequate.
