Coroners' Courts Support Service
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 28 October 2021 to Question 59760 on funding the Coroners’ Courts Support Service, what estimate he has made of the cost of extending support services, such as the Coroners Courts Support Service, to all 85 coroner areas; under what circumstances that would be assessed as affordable; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
In February 2019 the Government committed to extend coverage of support services to all 85 coroner areas, subject to affordability and reiterated the commitment in its response to the Justice Committee’s First Report - The Coroner Service in July 2021, noting that further detailed work needed to be done to understand the affordability, and legal and commercial issues in delivering it.
The Ministry of Justice is currently unable to share estimated costings of extending support services as this data relates to the development of ongoing Government policy.
