Mr. Adley
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will estimate the cost to the National Health Service, for the latest year for which figures are available, of all road accidents.
Mr. Freeman
Data on the actual cost to the National Health Service in England of road accidents is not collected by the Department. However, the Department of Transport has estimated the medical and ambulance costs associated with the treatment of road accident victims in Great Britain at around £160 million in 1988.
