Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many abortions on the grounds of rectifiable disabilities were performed (a) after 24 weeks' gestation and (b) during the 24th week in each of the last three years.

The Department does not record information on whether a disability is rectifiable. Abortion data are recorded by ICD-10 code and published in annual reports, split by gestation (all gestations, and gestations 24 weeks and over). The most recent data for the year 2016 is published in table 9a in the below link:
