Termination of Pregnancy in Scotland
Listed in NHS Scotland Open Data Portal
Annual update of terminations of pregnancy in Scotland.
Description
Terminations are carried out under the terms of the Abortion Act 1967 with two doctors agreeing that a termination of pregnancy is necessary under at least one of the Grounds as specified in the 1991 Regulations. There is a legal requirement on service providers to notify the Chief Medical Officer for Scotland (CMO) of all terminations under-taken in Scotland.
Prior to 1st May 2022 PHS received termination data from the CMO. Since 1st May 2022 PHS has received this data direct from termination services on the Termination of Pregnancy Submissions Scotland (ToPSS) system. An abortion can be induced (therapeutic) or spontaneous (miscarriage) and may be carried out either surgically (eg vacuum aspiration, dilation and curettage) or medically using two drugs, an antiprogesterone and a prostaglandin.

This report focuses only on induced abortions. We also refer to these as terminations of pregnancy to avoid confusion with spontaneous abortions. Information is provided by age, gestation, method of termination, NHS board of residence, deprivation area, previous termination and council area of residence.
For more information on terminations of pregnancy see the terminations section of the PHS website and the annual publication. For related topics, please see the sexual health pages.
The date of the next release can be found on our list of forthcoming publications.
