Service The purpose of a termination of pregnancy service is to provide termination of pregnancies which are speedy and safe depending on the personal health and circumstances of the individual service user, to reduce repeat terminations and unintended pregnancies, and to promote better sexual health among service users.

Process To inform the commissioning process and to clarify the overall service model and detailed service requirements, we are engaging with potential providers to assess their capability and interest in delivering the service across Kent and Medway.
