HC Deb 15 November 1988 vol 140 cc563-4W
Ms. Richardson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he intends to change the statutory HSA4 notification form in order to make provision for the specific notification of rape when this has preceded a legal abortion; whether he intends to notify all doctors that they should voluntarily put this information on the form in order that accurate and complete statistics can be obtained; whether there has ever been a suggestion to doctors that they should provide that information when a pregnancy has been legally terminated following rape; and what steps he has taken to assess the number of unreported rapes.

Mr. Currie

I shall write to the hon. Member.
