§ Mr. Terry DavisTo ask the Secretary of State for Health how many women attended(a) their general practitioner and (b) a National Health Service family planning clinic for family planning advice and treatment in England in 1987 and 1988.
§ Mr. MellorThe number of women receiving contraceptive services from general medical practitioners in England is estimated at 2,555,000 in 1987 and 2,635,000 in 1988. These figures reflect the position at the end of the calendar year and include women accepted for contracep-tive services by a general practitioner other than their own.
In the financial year 1987–88 in England 1,318,800 women were seen at health authority planning clinics. We do not yet have figures for 1988–89.
