  • This £1m that each fatality costs us. Can you please break that down for me?

    1997 prices:

    The 1997 mid-point value of £1m for the prevention of a fatality includes losses
    to society as well as losses that are borne by the victims themselves, their
    friends and relatives. Losses to society arise because medical and ambulance
    costs are largely met by the NHS, and because fatal injuries result in net
    economic output being lost (the difference between the present value of lifetime
    output and consumption).
