Under The Abortion Regulations 1991, as amended, if a registered medical practitioner is of the opinion, formed in good faith, that a woman has grounds for an abortion, they are required to complete a certificate of their opinion. In addition, any practitioner who terminates a pregnancy is required to send a notice of, and information about, the termination to the Chief Medical Officer.
