Until 31 March 2013 the Ministry of Justice published twice yearly updates on reports to prevent future deaths. The relevant information can be found in the links below to five reports which cover the period 1 October 2010 to 31 March 2013:

However, since 1 April 2013 reports to prevent future deaths are sent by coroners to the Chief Coroner and they are posted on his website at https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/related-offices-and-bodies/office-chief-coroner/pfd-reports/
