The Department for Transport has undergone several name changes since the Road Accident Data series began. Originally known as the Department of Transport (DoT), it became part of the Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) in 1997, part of the Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DLTR) in 2001, and finally a department in its own right once more, the Department for Transport (DfT), from May 2002. Please note that the departmental name change may have occurred after collection of the Road Accident Data for a particular year began, so name changes may not be reflected in the UK Data Archive catalogue record until the next year of the data series. |

Transcription of existing materials
every road accident on the public highway, which includes human injury or death, is recorded on a 'STATS19' report form by police officers in Great Britain. In England, within each local area, STATS19 data are collated by a central unit referred to as a Local Processing Authority (LPA) which can be managed directly either by the police or local authority, or be subcontracted to a private consultancy. In Scotland and Wales, the Scottish Government (formerly the Scottish Executive) and the National Assembly for Wales (formerly the Welsh Office) act as an LPA for these purposes. After validation, the LPA makes the data available to both the DfT and the local highway authority. Data are submitted regularly to DfT on electronic media to an agreed timetable.
