The Republic of Ireland (7.3 per 100,000), Northern Ireland (7.1), East Midlands
(6.7), East of England (6.5) and Scotland (6.5) had significantly higher age-standardised
mortality rates than the England average (5.3). The Wales rate (5.1) did not
differ significantly from England. London (3.3) had a significantly lower rate
compared to the other regions.
Of the 3,653 deaths due to MVTAs in Britain and Ireland in 2003, 2,004 (55%)
were occupants, 745 (20%) involved a motorcycle, 85 (2%) involved a pedal cycle
and 701 (19%) were pedestrians. There was some variation in the percentage breakdown
between the regions, with pedestrian deaths contributing to a much higher percentage
(33%) of MVTA deaths in London.
MVTA deaths 1996 to 2003 (to 2002 in Northern Ireland):
Scotland is excluded from the following analysis because it is not possible
to construct reliable information prior to the year 2000 due to changes in coding.
The number of unintentional deaths due to MVTAs in England, Wales and Ireland
decreased by 13% from 1996 (3,792 deaths) to 2003 (3,313 deaths).
The Republic of Ireland consistently had the highest age-standardised mortality
rate between 1996 and 2003. However, the country also had the largest significant
reduction in rate over this period (-38%). The rate also reduced in Northern
Ireland (-17%) and almost all the remaining regions, with significant reductions
in Wales (-26%), England (-11%), the South West (-26%) and the North East (-23%).
