Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions he has had with the Department for Health and Social Care on trends in the numbers of injuries as a result of e-scooter use.
Officials have not had recent discussions with the Department for Health and Social Care on this issue. To identify trends in the numbers of injuries as a result of e-scooter use, the Department is using STATS19 data and working directly with some NHS Trusts, for example Liverpool. The Department is collecting evidence on rental e-scooter casualties (including the type and severity of injuries) through its monitoring and evaluation programme.
