- Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many miscarriages the NHS has registered in each of the last five years.

The National Health Service is not required to register miscarriages. Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) provide information on the number of miscarriages. The table shows the number of miscarriages from 2010-11 to 2014-15 where there was a hospital admission. Not all miscarriages will require an admission to hospital.
