The information requested is not collected centrally. Limitations to historical data recording and collation mean that the total number of children diagnosed with congenital malformations or neurodevelopmental disorders following exposure to sodium valproate in utero in England or across the United Kingdom since its authorisation is very difficult to estimate.
