Abortion is available on The NHS Steve. Over 90% of legal abortions are under NHS care.

Since the spot inspection series I was part of a few years ago, some private hospitals have made the decision not to offer any more, (not for failing but not feeling their being set for them is worth the registration work, given the demand for private is so low.) As it is "day case" the hotel type comforts of private aren't worth it and there is no waiting list as it is classed as "non elective" and has to be carried out before the cut off.

Ironically of course, one day I visited an NHS hospital and was talking to the gynae and obs consultant responsible. The next day I visited a nearby private hospital and of course, the same consultant. Yer pays yer money and takes yer choice.

I am not a doctor, nurse, social worker or woman so my personal take isn't the most relevant. But for me, the system cannot be improved much (and healthcare improvement has been my thing in recent years.) But the need? Complicated and multi faceted. I obviously don't have the level of understanding that those with confidence of their conviction have. Wouldn't it be nice to go through life judging without the obstacle of weighing the evidence? Some on here seem to have that ability. Must get their autograph.
