Topics

Decisions about late abortion and care for women and their families are supported by sensitive and professional care

This includes ultrasound scanning for fetal structural anomalies and combined first trimester screening, which is largely publicly funded, and non‐invasive prenatal screening for certain chromosomal or genetic conditions, currently available only at private expense.1
