Details
In 2011, there was a reported discrepancy between statistics on the number of abortions carried out following diagnosis of Down바카라 사이트™s, Edwards and Patau syndrome reported to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and those provided by the National Down바카라 사이트™s Syndrome Cytogenetic Register. This report provides the results of a data matching exercise and makes a series of recommendations to encourage hospitals to ensure that all abortions are reported to the CMO.
