Differnet countries have different laws on who is allowed to study skeletal remains. How much time needs to have passed, I mean.
I think it is partly about giving medicine (pathologists) the opportunity (though perhaps that's not the right word) to recover recoverables like implanted devices, and the like...
But it is interesting that a few of teh workhouse buildings were handed over to district health boards.
If you find skeletal remains at a building site you need to get a determination on whether the remains are likely human and how long ago they deseased in order to determine whether the issue is forensic (medicine, pathology) or bio-archeological (so non-medical researchers are allowed to study them)
