On the other hand—at the other end of the scale—the amendment adds coroners. Here there is real value in creating the data that coroners can provide to help us understand systemic problems with a product or its regulation. If the data is regularly collected, it creates the opportunity to identify patterns and trends that could point to the need for new regulation. The amendment also broadens the scope of bodies that could be permitted to receive information. At the moment, as well as emergency services, the Bill limits reporting to include only people specifically referred to in a given regulation. We have suggested that there is scope to extend this in a number of directions to include bodies such as Which? or CABs, which are able to make super complaints on behalf of consumers, as covered by Section 11 in the Enterprise Act.
