Enforcement on regulation 28 action

The request was partially successful.

Dear Ministry of Justice,

We understand that there is currently no enforcement underpinning the legal obligation for authorities and companies to respond to or act on regulation 28 reports. Please could you let us know if there are any plans on file to implement enforcement.

If you have no information on the matter we would appreciate any suggestion as to who we should contact for this information under the Freedom of Information Act.

Thanks in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Joanna Wilkinson, Coroners and Burials Correspondence,

We have checked the request and confirm it is valid as it very clearly asks for information recorded. However at least you've saved the taxpayer more money with us having to take the matter up with the ICO.

On your latter sentence - we are disappointed to learn there are no plans on file to enforce underpinning the legal obligation for authorities and companies to respond to or act on regulation 28 reports. We've seen many Regulation 28 reports go unanswered where there was a legal obligation to respond and the families of those who have died will not be comforted by your response, although they know it's not your fault.

Yours sincerely,

Gemma Partridge

Dear Coroners, MoJ

Thanks for your response.

It's obviously disappointing that there are no plans on file to underpin the legal obligation for authorities and companies to respond to or act on regulation 28 reports with enforcement. We've seen many regulation 28 reports that have gone unanswered by authorities, clearly lapsing their 'respond by' date.

Yours sincerely,

Gemma Partridge
