To ask Her Majesty's Government what account they took of patient safety and the findings of recent Care Quality Commission reports that Marie Stopes International clinics had been in serious breach of safety guidelines, when deciding to extend the scheme under which free NHS abortions are made available to women from Northern Ireland to include the provision of free travel to those clinics.

<p>Clinics run by Marie Stopes International (MSI) continue to be registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and approved by the Secretary of State to perform abortions. We are aware that CQC inspections raised serious concerns about compliance by MSI clinics with requirements set by the Department and the CQC. MSI are continuing to take a range of actions to address the issues identified in the CQC’s reports. The CQC re-inspected MSI earlier this year and has made clear that they will not hesitate to take further action if necessary, in order to guarantee MSI meets the standard of care they expect and that its patients deserve. The Department continues to closely monitor the situation with particular regard to the statutory approval responsibilities of the Secretary of State.</p>
