HL Deb 07 February 1994 vol 551 cc112-3WA
Lord Braine of Wheatley

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the annual cost to the NHS of performing abortions.

Baroness Cumberlege

The cost of a National Health Service abortion varies according to factors such as gestation and length of stay. No meaningful estimate of the annual cost to the NHS of performing abortions is possible.
