These files provide detailed road safety data about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents in GB from 1979, the types of vehicles involved and the consequential casualties. The statistics relate only to personal injury accidents on public roads that are reported to the police, and subsequently recorded, using the STATS19 accident reporting form.

There has been an increasing demand for more up to date information on reported road accidents to be made available to the public, stakeholders and researchers. As a result, the Department for Transport made a dataset covering accidents for the first and second quarters of 2018 in Great Britain available for the first time on data.gov.uk. The data released was an un-validated subset and has been superseded by the full accident dataset for 2018, released after validation for the full year.

All the data variables are coded rather than containing textual strings. The lookup tables are available in the "Additional resources" section towards the bottom of the table.

Please note that the 2015 data were revised on the 29th September 2016. Accident, Vehicle and Casualty data for 2005 - 2009 are available in the time series files under 2014. Data for 1979 - 2004 are available as a single download under 2004 below.

Also includes: Results of breath-test screening data from recently introduced digital breath testing devices, as provided by Police Authorities in England and Wales Results of blood alcohol levels (milligrams / 100 millilitres of blood) provided by matching coroners’ data (provided by Coroners in England and Wales and by Procurators Fiscal in Scotland) with fatality data from the STATS19 police data of road accidents in Great Britain. For cases when the Blood Alcohol Levels for a fatality are "unknown" are a consequence of an unsuccessful match between the two data sets.

This dataset captures detailed statistics about road accidents in Glasgow from 2014 to 2021. The data relate to the location, built environment and level of injury for each accident, along with numbers of casualties and vehicles involved. The statistics relate only to personal injury accidents on public roads that are reported to the police, and subsequently recorded, using the STATS19 accident reporting form. Data are released via the UK Department for Transport and can be found at the UK Government Data portal data.gov.uk.

This publication looks at Accident and Emergency activity in England for the financial year 2023-24. It describes NHS accident and emergency activity and performance in hospitals in England. The data sources for this publication are the Emergency Care Data Set (ECDS) and Emergency Admissions Monthly Situation Reports (MSitAE) relating to A&E attendances in NHS hospitals, minor injury units and walk-in centres. The report includes analysis by patient demographics, time spent in A&E, distributions by time of arrival and day of week, arriving by ambulance, performance times, waits for admission and reattendances to A&E within 7 days. The purpose of this publication is to inform and support strategic and policy-led processes for the benefit of patient care and may also be of interest to researchers, journalists and members of the public interested in NHS hospital activity in England. Note: the MSitAE figures presented in the 'MSitAE Report Tables' file account for revisions to historic data and may therefore differ slightly from those shown in the 'Quality Indicators (CQI) Open Data' file, which is based on data published at fixed points in the year. The MSitAE data referenced throughout this report are published monthly by NHS England on the separate 'NHS England MSitAE Home Page', as linked to in the Related Links section below. This publication includes the total number of attendances for all A&E types, including Urgent Treatment Centres, Minor Injury Units and Walk-in Centres, and of these, the number discharged, admitted or transferred within four hours of arrival. Also included are the number of Emergency Admissions, and any waits of over four hours for admission following decision to admit.

These files provide detailed road safety data about the circumstances of personal injury road accidents in GB from 1979, the types (including Make and Model) of vehicles involved and the consequential casualties. The statistics relate only to personal injury accidents on public roads that are reported to the police, and subsequently recorded, using the STATS19 accident reporting form.

Casualties on the roads by severity (Killed/seriously injured or slight injuries) for both child and all casualties by borough since 2004. A child is anyone aged 17 and under.

Data presented is for personal injury road traffic collisions occurring on the public highway, and reported to the police, in accordance with the Stats 19 national reporting system.

Also available: Casualties on the roads by LSOA, MSOA and Ward by severity for years 2010 to 2013.

Incident level data:

Casualty data for all road accidents 2010 to 2013 are also available for individual incident level in CSV format (11 MB and 87k rows).

There are slight differences between the local authority recorded in the official DFT data and this one, which has been geo-coded using the Easting and Northing of the accident. When an accident happens on a borough boundary it is down to the police officer to decide which borough the accident occured in. However, this data uses uses the centre points of the Easting and Northing provided and this can fall into a different local authority. For this reason, the geography in the geo-coded data is not official but does provide indicative information.

Incident level data from 2005 onwards is available from TFL ('data extracts').

Road accident statistics are collected from information about personal injury road accidents and their consequent casualties, to a common national standard. The aim of collecting and publishing national road accident statistics is to inform public debate and to provide the basis for determining and monitoring effective road safety policies to reduce the road accident casualty toll. They are an essential requirement for monitoring targeted reductions in road accident casualties. The credible monitoring of targeted reductions requires that data are reported consistently and accurately, and both national and local government, and local reporting police forces, work closely to achieve a common reporting standard.

Users should note that for 1985-1991, and from 2002 onwards, the Vehicle Record file does not contain breath test data. This change has been made in order to protect confidentiality.

Data for 1985-1990 were deposited at the Archive at the beginning of 2006. Prior to this, the Archive only held the Road Accident Data series from 1991 onwards. No extra documentation was available for the 1985-1990 data, so users are advised to consult the documentation for the 1991 survey.

Further information about the Road Accident Data series and research based on it may be found on the government road accidents and safety statistics webpages.

These studies comprise information gathered using STATS19 and STATS20 forms.


Main Topics:
The collection process for these data includes the recording of details about the accident, together with the vehicles and casualties involved, which in principle can be easily discerned by the police either at the scene of the accident, or when they are reported to the police at a later date after the accident. The details recorded include accident time, date and location; vehicle type, location and manoeuvre; driver details; casualty details and severity.

Motorcycles were consistently the most fatal transport mode in Great Britain between 2013 and 2021. There were 74 recorded annual fatalities of motorcyclists for every billion passenger kilometers in 2021. This was significantly higher than pedestrian deaths, which at 16 fatalities per billion kilometers was the second most fatal mode of transport together with cycling, which recorded the same rate of fatalities.

This statistic shows public sector expenditure on incapacity, disability and injury benefits in the United Kingdom from 2013/14 to 2018/19. In the year 2018/19 the United Kingdom spent approximately 46.3 billion British pounds on incapacity, disability and injury benefits.

This statistical report presents a range of information on alcohol use and misuse drawn together from a variety of sources. The report aims to present a broad picture of health issues relating to alcohol use and misuse in England and covers topics such as drinking habits and behaviours among adults (aged 16 and over) and school children (aged 11 to 15); drinking-related ill health and mortality; affordability of alcohol; alcohol-related admissions to hospital; and alcohol-related costs. The topics covered include: Part 1: Alcohol-related hospital admissions Part 2:Alcohol-related deaths Part 3: Alcohol-related prescriptions Part 4: Drinking behaviours among adults Part 5: Drinking behaviours among children Part 6: Expenditure and affordability Each part provides an overview of the key findings on these topics, as well as providing links to sources of further information and relevant documents. This report contains data and information previously published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC), Department of Health, the Office for National Statistics and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. The report also includes new analyses of prescribing data carried out by the Health and Social Care Information Centre.

Statistics about reported road traffic casualties in the Greater Manchester area updated annually. For most tabulations data is provided for each year from either 1989 or from 1994. If data is required for other years, please contact HFAS. By providing the data in this single year format, the user is able to undertake their own analysis on trends more easily The tables are based on data collected by the Greater Manchester Police about road traffic accidents that involved personal injury and took place on the public highway. Deaths or injuries occurring on the public highway without a vehicle being involved are not classed as road traffic accidents. Accidents that do not become known to the police, or only become known 30 days or longer after their occurrence are also excluded. Accidents are recorded by the police using the STATS19 form, a copy of which can be found in HFAS Report 1800, available at www.gmtu.gov.uk. The number of injury accidents not known to the Greater Manchester Police is not easily identified. It would seem reasonable to assume that all fatal’ accidents are reported, but these represent only a small proportion of the total. However, the limited evidence available indicates thatserious’ and `slight’ accidents are under reported. Without a detailed study in Greater Manchester, it has been assumed historically that 20% and 35% respectively have not been reported. It has also been assumed that the level of under-reporting has been consistent from year to year when analysing the statistics presented in this report. For further information on the levels of reporting in road accidents, the DfT have produced a number of papers which are available via their website www.dft.gov.uk. © Crown copyright and database rights 2014 Ordnance Survey 0100022610.

This statistical report acts as a reference point for health issues relating to alcohol use and misuse, providing information obtained from a number of sources in a user-friendly format. It covers topics such as drinking habits and behaviours among adults (aged 16 and over) and school children (aged 11 to 15); drinking-related ill health and mortality; affordability of alcohol; alcohol-related admissions to hospital; and alcohol-related costs. The report contains previously published information and also includes additional new analyses. The new analyses are mainly obtained from the Health and Social Care Information Centre's (HSCIC) Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) system, and prescribing data. The report also includes up-to-date information on the latest alcohol related government policies and ambitions and contains links to further sources of useful information. The report used a revised methodology for estimating alcohol-related hospital admissions following a review by Public Health England, the Department of Health and the Health and Social Care Information Centre. Consequently estimates of alcohol-related hospital admissions for 2012-13, reported in this publication, are not comparable to estimates in earlier years' publications. A back time series of estimates of alcohol-related hospital admissions, calculated using the revised methodology, for the years 2003-04 to 2011-12 were made available as additional tables on the 1st October 2014. They provide a comparable 10 year time series from 2003-04 to 2012-13. On 11th June 2014, paragraph 4.3.2 concerning Specialist alcohol treatment was amended slightly to improve clarity. Please note: on 1st December 2014 an error was identified in the figures for East Sussex in tables 4.3 and 4.6 for all years and has now been corrected. In previous versions, the total for East Sussex was excluding the figures for Wealden.
