Question:
To ask the Minister for Infrastructure whether her Department collects statistics on the number of (i) fatalities; or (ii) serious injuries, caused by drivers who have been deemed medically unfit to drive, broken down by drivers who had (a) reported their medical conditions to the Driver and Vehicle Agency or the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency; and (b) not done so, pursuant to the statistics gathered by her Department on road safety issues.

Answer:

My Department does not collect statistics on the number of fatalities or serious injuries, caused by drivers who have been deemed medically unfit to drive. The data used to publish statistics in relation to Road Traffic Collisions is sourced from the PSNI and does not include a marker in relation to fitness to drive.
