Ceist:

138. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Health his plans to combine the data on road traffic collision casualties held by hospitals and general practitioners; the status of the reporting of serious injuries from road traffic collisions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Health

As data on road traffic collisions is not routinely maintained by General Practitioners it would not be possible to combine the data as suggested by the Deputy. I understand that officials from my Department have contacted the Deputy's office seeking additional information regarding the second part of his question.
