Accidents (Hansard, 11 July 1969)

§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has for improving the organisation of hospitals for dealing with emergencies caused by accidents and for extending the facilities for the treatment of accident cases.

§ Mr. Crossman
Regional hospital boards, whose responsibility it is in consultation with boards of governors to plan the accident and emergency provision in the region, have recently been 341W asked to review their services, with a view to concentrating their resources in a way which will permit a wider range of treatment to be made available in larger centres.

§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what research is being undertaken in National Health Service hospitals into the causes of the accidents for which patients have been admitted; whether he will undertake to publish the results of such research; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Crossman
Hospital authorities are encouraged to provide information to bodies undertaking studies in the prevention of accidents. Statistics are regularly collected and published on the types of injury caused by road traffic accidents, accidents in the home and accidents occurring elsewhere.

§ Mr. Geoffrey Lloyd
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has for increasing the facilities at teaching hospitals for instruction in the treatment of accidents; and if he will make a statement.

The universities as autonomous institutions are responsible
