HC Deb 28 November 1991 vol 199 c586W
Ms. Richardson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received about Medway health authority's decision to restrict the abortion service available on the national health service to certain groups; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

We have received one representation on abortion services in Medway district health authority. The level of NHS terminations in the Medway authority were just below the national average —42 per cent.—in 1990 and are likely to be above it at the end of 1991.
