Data on the number of women with complications following an abortion at a British Pregnancy Advisory Service and Marie Stopes International clinic between 1 July 2017 and 31 December 2018 is attached. The Code of Practice outlined in the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 prohibits the pre-release of official statistics before the due date of publication. Data on the number of complications following an abortion in 2019 is still being collected and requires full quality assurance prior to release. Data for 2019 will be published on 11 June at 9:30am.
