Under the Freedom of Information Act, I request data on coroners' Prevention of Future Deaths reports (PFDs or Reg 28 letters) received by this NHS Trust. Can I please request the following:
1. the total number of PFDs where the Trust was a listed addressee from inception (July 2013) until Oct 2024 (or the most recent available data), broken down as annual counts for each calendar year (e.g. for 2013, the number of reports from Jul to Dec; for 2014 the number of reports from January to December).
2. the total number of PFDs where the Trust was copied for information as an ‘interested person’ from inception (July 2013) until Oct 2024 (or the most recent available data), broken down as annual counts for each calendar year (e.g. for 2013 the number of reports from Jul to Dec; for 2014 the number of reports from January to December).
Yours faithfully,

Dear Northern Health and Social Care Trust NI,
Yes, that's correct; coroners' Prevention of Future Deaths reports are issued by coroners in England and Wales and have been since 2013. I'm not aware of a Northern Ireland equivalent. However, I am seeking information on whether the Trust holds any of these reports sent by coroners in England and Wales as per the initial request.
Yours sincerely,
