Coroners' Prevention of Future Deaths Reports received by the General Medical Council 2013-2024
Dear General Medical Council,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I am requesting data relating to coroners' Prevention of Future Deaths reports (PFDs or Reg 28 letters) received by the General Medical Council (GMC). Can I please request the following:
1. the total number of PFDs where the GMC was a listed addressee from inception (July 2013) until April 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 GMC was copied for information in as an ‘interested person’ from inception (July 2013) until April 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,
Dr Georgia Richards
