Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many (1) singleton, and (2) multiple, pregnancies were dealt with in each (a) hospital trust, and (b) region, in each of the last 10 years.

As the information requested is over a 10 year period, it has been provided in the attached tables.

We have provided a count of delivery episodes involving:

(a) a singleton birth;

(b) multiple births; or

(c) an unknown number of babies born at the end of a single delivery episode.

The information is provided by hospital provider and government office region of treatment for the years 2004-05 to 2013-14.

Data should not be described as a count of people as the same person may have had more than one episode of care within the same time period.

The footnotes should be referred to when interpreting the data.
