Abortion: Statistics
(asked on 24th October 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to publish abortion statistics for England and Wales for 2023 by the end of this year.
This question was answered on 13th November 2025
The publication date for abortion statistics for England and Wales for 2023 has not been confirmed. This is because of delays, due to several operational issues. These include issues associated with moving to a new data processing system and an increase in the number of paper abortion notification forms to process.
Publication of the 2023 data is provisionally planned for winter 2025/26. We will announce the date for publication in due course.
