Responses published

17 of 21 reports (81%) have at least one response published on judiciary.uk.

For reports written in the same years, 81% of all PFD reports in the corpus have a published response — so this page is in line with the corpus rate — the difference is within what chance alone would produce for this few reports.

This is not a reply rate. It counts responses published against the report by anyone — the organisation named here, a government department, a regulator or another body — because most response letters do not identify their author in a form that can be resolved reliably. A report with no response listed does not mean nobody replied: publication is at the discretion of the Chief Coroner's office, is often delayed, and was far less consistent in the corpus's early years. Treat a low figure as a prompt to read the reports, not as a finding about this organisation.

These counts are a floor, not a total. A report is listed here only when it names the organisation in text our pipeline could read; scanned reports with poor OCR, and reports that name only a hospital site or an individual, are missed. Always check the source report.
