Mr. Cryer
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the estimated cost of hospitalisation of people due to road accidents during 1975.
Dr. Owen
The cost of treatment of road accidents casualties is not separately identified in hospital accounts, but from the best available information it is estimated that during the financial year ended 31st March 1975 expenditure on hospital in-patient and out-patient services in England for this type of patient amounted to £23 million.
