HC Deb 27 April 1987 vol 115 c38W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what steps are being taken to improve cost estimates for National Health Service treatment of casualities of drinking and driving.

Mrs. Currie

Statistics kept for the first time in 1985 enable us to estimate the cost of National Health Service treatment of drinking and driving casualties in that year. The 1985 cost in England is estimated as £8.4 million.
