72 Prevention of Future Deaths reports from the County Durham and Darlington coroner area, 2013–2026. Each one is a coroner's formal warning that something could cause more deaths unless it changes. Full text of every report is on this site.
64 of 72 (89%) have at least one response published on judiciary.uk.
This counts responses published against the report by anyone, not whether a particular body replied. Publication is at the Chief Coroner's discretion and was far less consistent in the corpus's early years, so read a low figure as a prompt to open the reports, not as a finding.
