HC Deb 18 November 2002 vol 394 cc20-1W
Mr. Ben Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport how many people have received hospital treatment in each of the last five years following collisions between cyclists and pedestrians. [80393]

Mr. Jamieson

Information is not available on the number of people who have received hospital treatment as a result of road accidents. The Department's statistics of road casualties identifies those who were "seriously injured"—which includes those who were detained in hospital as an in-patient, as well as those who suffered a range of other injuries whether or not they were detained in hospital.

The number of people seriously injured in collisions between cyclists and pedestrians in Great Britain for each of the last five years is listed in the following table:

Year Seriously injured
2001 57
2000 65
1999 75
1998 85
1997 90
