Tracking preventable deaths in July 2024

A monthly review of coronial data

Last month the UK welcomed a new Labour Government, Secretary of State for Justice and Ministers for Justice. It’s unclear what they’ll be focusing on to reform the Coroner Service just yet, but I hope the efforts from the follow-up inquiry are not wasted.

In July, new features were added to the Preventable Deaths Tracker website. On the home page, you’ll find two new “counters” that in real-time display the most important numbers we need to track. These numbers will update every Sunday.

A whole new Tracker database was launch last month: the Regulation 29 Addressee Tracker, which you can read about here:

Who receives coroners' reports?
