	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2019 answer text <p>This information is not collected centrally. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has considered the issue of fetal pain and awareness in its guidelines on ‘The Care of Women Requesting Induced Abortion and Fetal Awareness: Review of Research and Recommendations for Practice’. This concluded that “the case for administering analgesia before an invasive procedure (in addition to maternal general anaesthesia) after 24 weeks when the [fetus’] neuroanatomical connections are in place, needs to be considered together with the practicalities and risks of administration of fetal analgesia. Evidence that analgesia confers any benefit on the fetus at any gestation is lacking but should be a focus of future research”.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 28/06/2019 10:59:10 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2019 answer text <p>The decision to terminate a pregnancy must rest on the judgement of two doctors, who have to be of one and the same opinion that an abortion meets one of the grounds set out in the Abortion Act 1967, and the woman herself, who must be given enough information and time to help her understand the process so that she can make an informed decision about the options available. When an abnormality is detected or suspected, women and their partners should receive appropriate information and support from a properly trained multidisciplinary team – who must adopt a supportive and non-judgemental approach regardless of whether the decision is to terminate or continue the pregnancy.</p><p>Diagnosis or prognosis does not always tell the whole picture of each individual case. In 1990, when the grounds for abortion where amended, Parliament agreed that doctors were best placed to make these decisions with the woman and her family. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has published guidance on ‘Termination of Pregnancy for Fetal Abnormality in England, Scotland and Wales’ to assist doctors and other health professionals to support women and their families when a fetal abnormality is diagnosed and to help women to decide, within the bounds of the law, whether or not to have an abortion.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 28/06/2019 10:28:42 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2019 answer text <p>All independent sector abortion providers must meet the Required Standard Operating Procedures set out in the Department’s Procedures for the Approval of Independent Sector Places for the Termination of Pregnancy (Abortion). In line with these standards, all women requesting an abortion should be offered the opportunity to discuss their options and choices with, and receive therapeutic support from, a trained pregnancy counsellor. This offer should be repeated at every stage of the care pathway. Post abortion counselling should also be available for those women who require it.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 28/06/2019 10:27:03 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
