Note: Health region-level abortion statistics for England have been reported for years 1991-2010, but the regions by which this data is reported have changed repeatedly during this time period. Tables below give figures for higher level health regions for 1999-2010. Construction of a dataset for uniform regions for additional years is incomplete.
