Public Health Funerals

Under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, I request the following information:

– How many public health funerals did you conduct in each of the last three reported years?
– What was the average cost before recovering of funds of conducting a public health funeral in each of the last three reported years?
– What is the average proportion of costs of public health funerals that have been recovered in each of the last three reported years?
– How many public health funerals did you conduct in each of the last three reported years where the cause of death was related to the use of illicit drugs?

Devon County Council is not responsible for Public Health Funerals and therefore does not hold this information. Public Health Funerals are the responsibility of District and Unitary councils in Devon; please contact them directly using the information on the links provided.
