Post-Abortion Morbidity Survey

HC Deb 20 October 1969 vol 788 cc150-1W

Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will institute a national post-abortion morbidity survey.

Mr. Crossman

I expect to receive shortly data for 1968 on complications arising within seven days of terminations performed under the Abortion Act 1967. I am examining whether longer term studies would be practicable and likely to be of value.
