HC Deb 24 May 1993 vol 225 c445W
Mr. Alton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans she has to require cases where RU486 is used with accompanying prostaglandins to be treated solely at family planning clinics; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Sackville

None.

Mr. Alton

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what information she has on the availability of foetal scanning equipment in family planning clinics which administer RU486.

Mr. Sackville

Arrangements for the use of RU486 are set out in the drug data sheet and are subject to the requirements of the Abortion Act 1967, as amended. The provision of equipment in national health service premises is a matter for local decision.
