As expected, there is a higher admission rate for accidents for those aged under 19 years
living in the most deprived areas.

10.11.2 Road Traffic Accidents
From the Department for Transport (Department for Transport 2009; Department for
Transport 2010), the numbers killed or seriously injured on the roads for 1994-1998,
2006 and 2007 are given in Table 358. Accidents included involve personal injury
occurring on a public highway (including footpath) in which at least one road vehicle or a
vehicle in collision with a pedestrian is involved and which becomes known to the police
within 30 days of its occurrence. The vehicle need not be moving and accidents
involving stationary vehicles and pedestrians or users are included. One accident may
give rise to several casualties. Damage-only accidents are not included. Seriously
injured is defined as where the patient is detained in hospital as an inpatient or any of
the following injuries whether or not they are detained in hospital: fractures; concussion;
internal injuries; crushings; burns (excluding friction burns); severe cuts; severe general
shock requiring medical treatment; and injuries causing death 30 or more days after the
accident. An injured casualty is recorded as seriously or slightly injured by the police on
the basis of information available within a short time after the accident. This generally
will not reflect the results of a medical examination, but may be influenced by whether
the casualty is hospitalised or not. Hospitalisation procedures will vary regionally.
