Details

This work represents an initial attempt to establish the feasibility of linking STATS19 and Incident Reporting System (IRS) data provided by the Home Office for road collision incidents attended by Fire and Rescue Services.

This work supports the future data strategy as set out in the latest STATS19 review final report. The purpose of linking the two datasets is to establish whether the IRS data can help us to understand more about post crash care and response times.

This work focuses on establishing a method for linking the two datasets, and presents some high level illustrative analysis of the linked dataset together with planned next steps to develop the linkage further.

Any feedback from users of the statistics on the value of this data linking will be valuable in determining whether further work is merited. Feedback on the work to date is welcome by email to the road safety statistics team.
