HC Deb 26 October 1987 vol 121 c106W
Mrs. Fyfe

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he will list, for each hospital which performed abortions in each health board area, in the latest year for which statistics are available, the ages of the women having the abortions, the numbers of those women resident in that health board area and the numbers who travelled from other parts of Scotland, other parts of the United Kingdom, other European Economic Community countries and other countries;

(2) if he will list for each hospital which performed abortions in each health board area, in the latest year for which statistics are available, the gestational ages of the foetuses;

(3) which hospitals within each health board area perform abortions; and how many abortions were performed in each hospital in the latest year for which statistics are available.

Mr. Forsyth

Information about the abortions performed in each health board area is published in "Scottish Health Statistics". It is not our practice to publish a breakdown of these figures by individual hospital.
