§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services how many(a) direct and (b) indirect maternal deaths in England and Wales in each year from 1976 onwards occurred in isolated general practioners' units; and how many were associated with anaesthesia.
§ Mrs. CurrieIn order to identify those maternal deaths occurring in isolated general practitioners' units it would be necessary to refer to the copies of the death certificates of all registered maternal deaths. I regret that this could be done for all the years requested only at disproportionate cost.
