  The Chief Coroner sets national standards for all coroners; approves coroner appointments; keeps a register of coroner investigations lasting more than 12 months and take steps to reduce unnecessary delays; monitors investigations into the deaths of service personnel and monitors the system where recommendations from inquests are reported to the appropriate authorities in order to prevent further deaths. 
  
  
  
  The Chief Coroner can take over and run an inquest, as occurred in relation to the Westminster Bridge Inquests in 2018.
