The Government has released figures on road casualties for the period up to 2012. Generally casualties are reducing apart from for pedal cyclists.
The report and associated tables can be found here
A summary table from the report (below) shows increased numbers of pedal cyclists killed or seriously injured (KSI) over last year and over the average for the previous 5 years. This is partially (but not wholly) offset by the fact that more miles of travelling are done by cycle.
