Jayden Wray Rule 43 Coroners Act

2. Statistical Summary
1. Rule 43 reports issued by coroners and trends
Between 1 April and 30 September 2010 coroners in England and Wales
issued a rule 43 report in 175 inquests.

As in the three previous summary bulletins, rule 43 reports were most 
commonly issued in connection with hospital deaths, accounting for 26% of 
reports issued (46 reports), broadly in line with the percentage in previous 
publications. A further 13% of reports were issued in connection with deaths in
custody (23 reports), again broadly in line with the percentage with the third
publication. The third most frequently issued reports, accounting for 12% of
reports, were in connection with community healthcare or emergency services
related deaths (21 reports).  

This is a change from the previous summary bulletins, in which the second
most common category of reports issued was in connection with road deaths.
In this summary this category accounted for 10% (18 reports). The percentage
of this category of deaths is reducing when compared to that in previous
publications.
