Ambulance Services: Surrey
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate his Department has made of the ambulance costs from road collisions in Surrey in the past five years.
Answered by Karin Smyth
No specific estimation has been made. Data on the number of road traffic collisions is collected and published by the Department for Transport.
Ambulance services do not routinely report costs at the level of individual incident types. However, the most recent National Cost Collection indicates that the average cost of an ambulance ‘see, treat and convey’ response is approximately £489.
