Coroners and Justice Bill

Do you think it would be appropriate for a chief coroner to have powers to request or require additional resources and facilities where perhaps there needs to be a greater in-depth investigation, perhaps where there has been a cluster of deaths, so that further examination can take place—I am thinking in particular of my own constituency where we had a cluster of deaths by suicide—so that the families could have a better understanding of why those deaths took place, that could inform local services, that could give some satisfaction to families as to why people have died but also do some work to help prevent future deaths? Should that be a nationally or locally based study?
