Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

What his Department's timeframe is for the publication of its response to the early medical abortions consultation on home use of both pills for early medical abortion up to 10 weeks gestation.

The consultation on whether to make permanent the current temporary measure allowing for home use of both pills for early medical abortion closes on 26 February.

We will carefully consider all of the responses received, and plan to publish the Government’s response later this year.
