In these days of retrenchment the Minister will come up against the barrier of scarce resources but, in that context, I draw his and the House's attention to a cost-benefit study carried out in 1999 by Dr. Peter Bacon which proves beyond any doubt that the benefits to the community of investing in a road safety strategy far outweigh the relatively small investment involved. One of the problems we must address is our fragmented approach to costs and benefits which makes it difficult to accommodate spending by one Department that results in savings by another. That is a trivial matter in comparison with the importance of the problem and I hope we can overcome such difficulties in the pursuit of what must surely be clear to everyone as a highly desirable goal.
