Details of Scheduled Inquests

Richard Taylor made this Freedom of Information request to Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Coroner Service
This authority is not subject to FOI law, so is not legally obliged to respond (details).
This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Cambridgeshire Coroner's Office,

In relation to each inquest hearing listed at:

http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/info/20...

Could you please release:

* Circumstances of the death (To be confirmed at inquest) eg. "collapsed and died at home."
* Where the individual was from, where they died and their age.
* The date of death.
* The type of hearing.
* The expected length of the hearing.
* If there is to be a jury.

I would like the Cambridgeshire Coroner's Office to consider pro-actively publishing this information in the future. I note coroners elsewhere in the UK do pro-actively provide the type of information requested.

Regards,

--

The phone number in the auto-responder is that of the Cambridgeshire Coroner's Office so my request has got through.

Following a previous request I made Cambridgeshire Coroner's Office began publishing some details of hearings

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/d...

This request is intended to get more information about upcoming inquests made public in Cambridgeshire; bringing Cambridgeshire's coroners into line with the most open and transparent coroner's services operating elsewhere in the UK.

Morris David, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Coroner Service

Dear Mr Taylor,

Your request has been referred to me although the particular case about
which you enquire relates to my colleague in N&E Cambridgeshire. We adopt
the same policy as prescribed by the Coroners Rules. The Freedom of
Information Act does not apply to Coroners in these circumstances. Advance
notice of the basic details are given in respect of every Inquest hearing.
In more complex cases where there has been a pre-inquest hearing or a jury
has been summoned, this additional information is usually provided. The
facts of the death, whether potentially salacious or not, are not
generally given to the press/public beyond the information released
following the opening of the Inquest when full details of the deceased,
the results of the post mortem findings(if available)are , funeral
directions etc  and a provisional date for the resumed hearing are
announced. This information is routinely given to all accredited press who
have requested to be on the notification list.

All inquests are open to the public and the press if they take the trouble
to attend. It is not part of the Coroner’s judicial or administrative
function to draw attention to those cases which may be newsworthy. Indeed
after 25 years I am only too conscious that most families seek to avoid
publicity and wish to grieve in private and with the minimum of exposure.
My prior  responsibility is to the bereaved and not to make life easier
for the press.

I doubt that my successor will take a different view!

Regards

DAVID S MORRIS

I note I have not inquired about a particular case at all. Perhaps this is a typo and is meant to say "cases" - given I referred to the current list of forthcoming hearings.

This response states there is: "information is routinely given to all accredited press who have requested to be on the notification list" which is not being made public. This is presumably the information which I am suggesting ought be pro-actively published.

Dear Cambridgeshire Coroner's Office,

Could you please add the email address this request has been sent from to your "notification list" which you use to send out information in relation to upcoming inquest hearings.

Regards,

Assuming all the information which was requested is pro-actively published that would be great news.

Dear Cambridgeshire Coroner's Office

Thanks for your message announcing the Cambridgeshire Coroner's Office's plan to pro-actively publish more information about upcoming inquest hearings. This is a positive step.

I note that at:

http://www4.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/info/2...

dates of planned resumed inquests are given but not times and locations. eg. a number of table rows state "Subject to confirmation at the resumed Inquest on 9 June 2015" but there are currently no corresponding times and locations of hearings to be held on that date on the page. I hope this missing information will be provided in the future.

I would also like to take this opportunity to urge the proactive publication of the coronor's conclusions and other outputs from the process.
