Management side survey 2018
You will recall that the LGA conducted a management side survey on coroners’ pay in August 2018, following the latest national agreement on coroners’ pay outlined in JNC circular 62 dated 8 January 2018. Thank you to all those authorities who participated in the survey and who provided information on their local reviews. For those authorities who did not participate, we hope that the information within the attached report will encourage you to participate in any future collection of data as the higher the response rate the more valuable a tool it is for councils to refer to when considering and conducting local implementation.
