Written Answers. - Live Births Statistics.

Liz O'Donnell

Question:

139 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Health the national profile by age and by city and county borough of live births outside of marriage to women for each of the years 1990 to 1993 inclusive.

The information sought by the Deputy for 1990, 1991 and 1992 is set out in Tables 1 to 3, respectively. The figures for 1990 refer to live births which occurred during that year, whereas the provisional figures for 1991 and 1992 refer to live births registered during those years. Data for 1993 are not yet available.
