Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat), on Tuesday, 3 July 2012, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 26 members in total.
SUPPORT FOR ROAD CRASH VICTIMS
That this House recognises that road deaths and serious injuries cause horrendous suffering every day; understands that bereaved and injured victims often experience long-term and acute emotional suffering and other serious implications such as debt, health problems and social isolation; notes there is no comprehensive Government-funded support automatically offered following a serious crash; congratulates road safety charity Brake on the literature and helpline services it provides to road crash victims but recognises that this remains a grossly under-funded area; and calls on the Government to significantly increase funding for support for road crash victims, using revenue from the planned increase to driving offence fines to ensure there is a clear pathway of integrated, specialist support, including face-to-face support, available to all bereaved and seriously injured crash victims who need it.
