<p>The Ministry of Justice does not have operational responsibility for coroner services
and therefore only holds information that it has decided to collect from coroners
on the basis that it would be useful in policy making. We collect annual data on deaths
reported to coroners, including inquests and post-mortem examinations held. The figures
for the number of post mortems held in 2017 which involved less invasive techniques
are available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/706047/coroners-statistics-2017-csvs.zip"

</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice does not currently collect from coroners information
on the number of less invasive post-mortem examinations which have been requested,
Jewish or Muslim deaths investigated by coroners, and release of bodies or out of
hours services.</p>
