Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many free abortions were performed on the NHS for citizens from (a) other EU countries and (b) non-EU countries under reciprocal healthcare arrangements in each of the last five years.
Abortions provided to women from other European Union countries and non-EU countries are funded privately. The European Health Insurance Card cannot be used for an abortion, unless it is an urgent matter which cannot wait until the person can return home.
