Abortion services in England are funded locally by clinical commissioning groups. The Department does not collect information on the funding individual organisations receive. Funding is also provided for independent sector and National Health Service organisations for the Northern Ireland Abortion Scheme.

To provide information on the number of abortions performed by individual organisations over the last 30 years would incur disproportionate cost.
