§ John HealeyThe information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician, who has been asked to reply.
Letter from Len Cook to Mr. David Amess, dated 20 May 2004:
1203WAs National Statistician I have been asked to reply to your recent questions asking for conception numbers and conception rates for women aged between 11 and 19 for each year since 2000. (174522, 174523)Numbers of conceptions are estimated from registrations of births and notifications of abortions. Miscarriages before the 24th week of gestation are not included.Numbers and rates of conceptions at ages under 14, and by single year for ages 14 to 19, are shown in the tables. The information is provided for all strategic health authorities in England, for the years 2000 to, 2002. The figures for 2002 are provisional estimates, since complete abortions data is not yet available. Information on the number of conceptions at age 19 is not available for 2002, and information on conceptions at age 18 is only available at national level for this year.In order to protect the confidentiality of individuals, ONS does not publish these figures by single year of age below age 14, given the small number of cases.
