HC Deb 11 July 1991 vol 194 c456W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what information he has on health authorities refusing to undertake a second national health service abortion for women who have a clinical need for them; if he will issue guidelines to health authorities on this matter; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

Health authorities are not required to collect such information. If the hon. Gentleman has a specific case in mind, the district general manager of the relevant health authority should be able to provide details.
