Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent correspondence he has had with domestic abuse charities on the use of at-home abortion in cases of domestic abuse.

During the Government’s consultation on the temporary approval which allowed home use of early medical abortion, we assessed evidence from the responses received, including from domestic abuse charities.

We will work with those in the violence against women and girls sector and the Domestic Abuse Commissioner to monitor the impact as face to face services return from August 2022.
