HL Deb 13 January 2003 vol 643 cc20-1WA
Lord Faulkner of Worcester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What action each government department is taking to implement the findings of the report Preventing Accidental Injury—Priorities for Action from the Accidental Injury Task Force. [HL832]

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath

The main emphasis of the report is the need for government departments and regional and local agencies to work more closely together to address injury prevention and to do so in the context of wider government programmes. The recent report of the cross-cutting review of health inequalities and recent guidance on health and neighbourhood renewal have taken a first step towards achieving this. Accidental injury is also included in a current Social Exclusion Unit project on transport and social exclusion.
