To ask the Scottish Executive how many people were injured in road traffic accidents (a) in total and (b) per 100,000 head of population in each year since 1999, calculated on the same basis as the World Health Organization's European health for all database.
Answer
The numbers of people who were injured in road traffic accidents which were reported by the Police for each year appear in Table 7.4 of
Scottish Transport Statistics No. 23: 2004 Edition, copies of which are available in the Parliament's Reference Centre (Bib. number 33706).
The numbers of road accident casualties per 100,000 population in each year since 1999 are given in the table below.
Number of Road Accident Casualties, Per 100,000 Population
| 1999 | 414 |
| 2000 | 405 |
| 2001 | 393 |
| 2002 | 381 |
| 2003 | 369 |
Both sets of figures are on the same basis as those shown for the UK in the World Health Organization's European health for all database.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will submit a separate return for Scotland each year to the World Health Organization’s European health for all database to allow adequate analysis of the health problems facing Scotland.
Answer
A selection of Scottish health information is currently included in the UK-level submission to the WHO European Health for All database. The Scottish Executive has separately commissioned work to publish the Scottish figures contained in the database. There are no current plans to pursue the possibility of Scotland separately submitting information directly to the World Health Organization (WHO) for the population of their European Health For All database.
The Scottish Executive considers that comparisons with health information for other countries is a vital part of understanding the health issues facing Scotland, and uses the WHO databases, along with a number of other sources, for a range of analysis to inform relevant policy and decision making.
