Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for the ten years up to and including 2016, how many midwife appointments on average did (a) pregnant women held in migrant detention centres and (b) pregnant women in the wider UK population have in the course of their pregnancy.

The Home Office does not hold the information requested.

Data on the total number of pregnant women detained in the immigration detention estate each quarter is published in table PWD_01 of the ‘Immigration Enforcement data: Q4 2022’. This data is only available from July 2016 and goes up to the end of September 2022. For data prior to 2010, see the archived Detention tables.
