HC Deb 18 July 1978 vol 954 cc194-5W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many "same day" abortion centres have been or are being planned in the United Kingdom; and what has been the expenditure to date on these centres.

Mr. Moyle

My Department has commended to health authorities the development as a priority of day-care abortion facilities. Authorities are, however, not required formally to notify their action to us, and thus the information requested by the hon. Member is not available to the Department.
