Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many inquests are outstanding in the Isle of Wight Coroner’s Office; and how long they have been waiting to be heard.

Real-time information is not centrally collated on the total number of uncompleted coroner investigations in individual coroner areas, and their length.

However, the number of open inquests at 31 December 2024 is published in the Coroner Statistics (Coroners statistics 2024 - GOV.UK). The data for each coroner area can be found in the CSV tables published alongside the statistical report.
