Yes but... that's the estimate (ie, made-up) average cost of a road accident fatality. It includes - and this is important - an estimated value of the deceased person's rest of life productivity, which must be quite difficult to estimate accurately. So that bit of the figure has to be taken with a few pinches of salt. It also includes "human costs" which means that a value is put on the distress and losses caused to bereaved relatives, friends, etc. I can see that in these touch-feely days, one would want to value such losses, but whether it ought to be done in money - and how that should be done anyway - is far from clear. I'm sure that you're 100% right on this. It's really interesting (to me!) to contemplate how to go about making that calculation. In any case, Mr Cheerful said £1m of taxpayer money wasted, and clearly that does not include human costs, nor rest of life productivity. Overall, it does not mean that £1,690,000 is the value of emergency services expended on dealing with the incident. The figure for "lost output" will be the biggest part of it. Most of it will be expended or incurred even if no emergency services are involved. |
