Same-day health and transport releases add SICBL infection data, new rail assault breakdowns and linked road data

ORR said mainline assaults against passengers and members of the public rose 36% to 13,464, the highest number since the series began in 2004, while reported workforce assaults rose 12% to 11,289 and were split into verbal abuse, physical assaults and threats for the first time [9]. DfT's additional releases covered fatal collisions, driving for work, child casualties and older and younger drivers [11][12][16][13], while its feasibility and linking reports concern matching STATS19 collision data to the road network and linking STATS19 fatalities with ONS death registration data [14][15]. Among these releases, the infection statistics are broken down by NHS acute trust and SICBL, while the COVER vaccination data is presented as UK quarterly data [1][6]. The day's releases therefore add new or more detailed breakdowns to the published data: SICBL-level infection rates, first-time rail assault categories, and road casualty records being matched to the road network and linked to ONS death registrations [1][9][14][15].
