      Public Health Funerals

      Requested Mon 11 September 2017
      Responded Mon 11 September 2017

      • How many public health funerals you have carried out each financial year dating back to 2010/11 (if possible) and up to 2016/17?

      • How much you have spent on public health funerals in the whole of each financial year (2010/11 to 2016/17)?

      • And, if possible, the average cost of each funeral in 2016/17 compared to the cost of one in 2010 (or earliest you have available)?

       

      The first two questions are the ones I am most keen to receive an answer on if possible.
