Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Sandra Gidley (Liberal Democrat), on Thursday, 18 June 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 49 members in total.


COLLECTION OF ACCIDENT AND INJURY DATA

That this House notes the importance of collecting injury data in identifying trends and aiding accident prevention; further notes the clear demand for such data, as shown by the 40 per cent. increase in accessing old data from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents website in the last year; regrets that Home and Leisure Accident Surveillance Systems stopped collecting such data in 2002; and calls on the Government to establish a co-ordinated UK-wide approach to the collection of accident and injury data in order to prevent injuries in the future.
