DHSC: 39 on-Island abortions in seven years

The Department of Health and Social Care says just 39 abortions have been performed on the Island in the past seven years.

A freedom of information request from 3FM asked how many procedures had been performed legally since October 2011.

The DHSC said the answer was confidential because it would breach patient confidentiality - but that response has now been overturned after a review.

The department has also apologised for a late response to the request.
