The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many personal injury accidents have occurred on the Milngavie to Strathblane stretch of the A81, detailing whether the accidents were slight, serious or fatal.
The answer
Data about injury road accidents are collected by the police and reported to the Scottish Executive using the STATS 19 statistical report form. These returns cover only road accidents in which one or more people were injured: they do not cover damage only accidents.The table gives the numbers of road accidents which were identified in the STATS 19 returns as occurring on the stretch of the A81 between Milngavie (at its junction with the B8030 at Station Road) and Strathblane (at its junction with the A891), in the four years 1997 to 2000 inclusive. Each accident has been classified according to the severity of the most seriously injured casualty who was involved in it.It should be noted that the statistics given in the table are based upon the data which are held in the central statistical database and which were collected by the police at the time of the accident and subsequently reported to the Executive. They may differ from any figures which the local authority would provide now, because they do not take account of any subsequent changes or corrections that the local authority may have made to the statistical information, for use at local level, about the location of each accident, based upon its knowledge of the road and area concerned.
