Lord Clement-Jones

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What amounts of money have been collected by hospital trusts from insurance companies in respect of road traffic accidents under the Road Traffic Act since new guidelines were issued in December 1997. [HL57]

Baroness Hayman

Figures for part years are not available. Audited figures for 1997–98 show that trusts in England collected £16.64 million under the terms of Sections 157 and 158 of the Road Traffic Act 1988. This compares to £13.863 million in 1996–97.
