Responses published

9 of 10 (90%) 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.
