The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of trends in the number of (a) severe trauma and (b) other injuries cause by e-bikes on the NHS; and what steps his Department is taking to help support the NHS to treat those injuries.

Answered by Karin Smyth

The information requested is not held centrally and no assessment has been made by the Department.

More broadly, the Government is supporting National Health Service urgent and emergency care services through our Urgent and Emergency Care Plan for 2025/26, which is backed by nearly £450 million.
