<p>We do not hold this pregnancy data for the requested time period or format. This
data would need to be collected by individual prisons at a disproportionate cost.</p><p>As
part of our fundamental review of policy relating to pregnancy, Mother and Baby Units
and maternal separation from children up to two in prison, we committed to providing
national pregnancy data in the future. The ‘HMPPS Annual Digest, April 2020 to March
2021’ was published on 29 July 2021 and this contains the latest published figures
relating to pregnant prisoners. This data is, however, provided as a national snapshot.

data collection, can be found in our summary report published in July 2020:</p><p><a
