— = suppressed value less than 10 (between 0 and 9). From 2003 onwards, totals less than 10 are suppressed for reasons of confidentiality in line with the Office for National Statistics' guidance on the disclosure of abortion statistics (2005). (1) ICD-10 codes are taken from the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (Tenth Revision) published by the World Health Organisation (WHO). (2) Over 24 week total includes abortions carried out under sections 1(1)(b), 1(1)(c) and 1(4). (3) Codes listed under 'other' have cases between 0 and 9 inclusive. (4) In line with the guidance, three year aggregate totals for 2003-2005 have been produced where possible.
* Includes cases where insufficient detail was available to allocate an ICD10 code.
Notes:
Section 1(1)(b): that the termination is necessary to prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman (Ground B)
Section 1(1)(c ): that the continuance of the pregnancy would involve risk to the life of the pregnant woman, greater than if the pregnancy were terminated (Ground A)
Section 1(1)(d): that there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped (Ground E)
Section 1(4): that the termination is immediately necessary to save the life (Ground F) or to prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman. (Ground G)
Alcoholic Drinks: Misuse
Mr. Burns:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many (a) men and (b) women were treated at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford for alcohol-related (i) injuries and (ii) illnesses in each of the last five years. [249835]
Dawn Primarolo:
The only centrally available data on treatment for alcohol-related health problems report on the number of admissions to hospital for alcohol and alcohol-related health problems. An individual may account for more than one admission.
While it is possible to analyse the admissions data to determine the number of individuals admitted to hospital for alcohol and alcohol-related health problems, this could be done only at disproportionate cost.
The following table shows the number of admissions by primary care trust in Essex for the period covering 2002-03 to 2006-07.
