All deaths attributable to external causes are referred to the Coroner’s Court. As such, these deaths are registered after the three-month deadline, and often much later than the twenty-two months deadline for annual publications, e.g. the impact of late registrations on suicide statistics is growing as can be seen from the table in the Background Notes.
