answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2022 answer text <p>In 2021, road casualties showed signs of a return to pre-pandemic trends, increasing compared to 2020 when casualty numbers were low, largely as a result of periods of lockdown resulting in a reduction in road traffic. Over the second half of the year, both casualties and traffic returned to levels similar to those in 2019. Monthly changes in casualties during 2021 generally showed a similar trend to changes in motor vehicle traffic levels.</p><p>We announced in the summer of 2021 that we would devise a new Road Safety Strategic Framework which will include a new implementation plan to improve road safety. This will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Katherine Fletcher question first answered 27/10/2022 11:58:25 answering member 4834 label Biography information for Katherine Fletcher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2021 answer text <p>We have some of the safest roads in the world, but the Government is not complacent about road safety and recognises the trauma associated with the deaths and serious injuries arising from road traffic collisions. Road deaths and injuries can cause suffering, economic loss and life-changing misfortune, and reducing this on our roads is a key priority.</p><p> </p><p>In those cases where a motorist is insured, the provision of compensation should be met by the insurer. Where a driver is either uninsured or untraced, there is provision in place for compensation to be claimed from the Motor Insurers’ Bureau. Since there are existing provisions for financial compensation no other direct financial support for victims is currently being considered.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Department recognises that road crash victims or their relatives may need additional support to pursue claims, or in dealing with bereavement or other emotional and psychological trauma. The Department has previously made a contribution to the funding of the National Road Victim Service provided by the charity Brake. Additionally, the Department is funding the roads policing review. One of the concerns that the review is exploring is post collision victim care, the services available to victims and their families, and how they are funded. We await the findings of the review which we hope to have by the end of this year.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 25/02/2021 15:51:37 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
