HC Deb 13 February 1968 vol 758 cc306-7W
81. Mr. John Fraser

asked the Minister of Health what is the annual cost to the National Health Service of treating victims of road accidents; and if he will introduce legislation to ensure that this cost is recovered from vehicle users.

Mr. Snow:

On the first part of the Question I would refer my hon. Friend to my right hon. Friend's reply on the 29th January, 1968, to my hon. Friend the Member for Plymouth, Sutton (Dr. David Owen). Certain fees and charges for treatment are already recoverable under the Road Traffic Act, 1960.—[Vol. 757. c.221.]
