Pa gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i sicrhau nad yw pobl feichiog ledled Cymru yn gorfod teithio allan o'r wlad i gael gofal erthyliad digonol?

Women in Wales should be able to access health services as close to their home as possible. Abortion care should be provided by health boards in line with NICE guidance, however in certain circumstances specialist service provision may be required which may be provided as a commissioned service by another health board or trust.

All health boards offer Early Medical Abortion at home (EMAH) up to nine weeks six days gestation. The latest data, from January to December 2023, shows the vast majority of abortions took place in the early stages of pregnancy with 91% under 10 weeks.

We are aware surgical abortion services are not where we would like them to be. Work is underway to develop a clear policy position on abortion which will clarify our expectations of health boards. This will include establishing a clear pathway for later-stage complex abortion procedures.
