3 years wait time for Coroner's Report for fatal farm accidents

Perks · 2025-04-22 17:45:43

A friend was speaking about this today and I'm shocked by the wait time. 3 years is a very long time for something so delicate. The family in question were distraught by the accident and now have to be reminded of it in some detail. Surely 3 years is not the average wait time?

Average is around 2 years but every inquest is different, HSA may have taken a long time to finish their investigation before the inquest could even start.

This chap is very lucky he survived and somehow raised the alarm.

One I know of took 17 months. 3 years seems like a lot.
