§ Mrs. MahonTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the total amount charged by each health authority for treatment given to patients following road traffic accidents for each of the last 10 years; and if he will give the comparable figures for NHS trusts.
§ Mr. Dorrell[holding answer 14 February 1992]: The information requested, which is derived from annual accounts submitted to the Department, is shown in the tables for the financial years to 1990–91—the latest available. Such information is not collected in-year.
Table 1 shows the figures for the 10 years by region and table 2 for each health authority for the most recent three years. A complete analysis to each health authority for the entire 10-year period could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

(Predecessor authorities for 1981–82).
Notes:
1. The annual figures are for total income from charges for emergency and further treatment under the Road Traffic Acts (RTA) and represent sums due for the financial year but not necessarily received.
2. The figures also reflect accounting adjustments and RTA charges written-off as bad debts in the year of account. Such adjustments and write-offs include RTA sums due from earlier years and a negative income figure may occasionally result for a particular year (figures shown in brackets in the tables).
3. The annual accounts of the fourteen regionl health authorities (RHAs) in England and six of the eight special health authorities (SHAs) for the London post-graduate teaching hospitals record no income from RTA in the period 1988–89 to 1990–91 and are omitted from table 2.
