HC Deb 21 December 1971 vol 828 c289W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what precautions are taken to ensure the resuscitation and intensive care of infants from prematurity as a result of abortions.

Sir K. Joseph

The precautions to be taken on any particular occasion are for the clinician in charge of the patient. I am advised that at any surgical operation for termination where the foetus might prove viable an anaesthetist would be present and apparatus for resuscitation at hand.
