Frequently Asked QuestionsNHS Abortion Services
We understand that cost can be a concern when considering abortion. Fortunately, 98% of UK abortions are funded by the NHS, meaning your procedure will be free of charge.
To ensure your safety, abortions can only be performed at a licensed clinic like NUPAS. We have clinics across England, in the North West, Midlands, Greater London & the South East. We work in partnership with healthcare commissioners to offer local services.
Our NHS Abortion Services Include:
How to Get NHS Abortion Services
- Self-referral with NUPAS

- GP referral to a licensed abortion clinic
Speak to your GP and ask for a referral abortion service. They will find you an appropriate provider or ask for a referral to NUPAS.
- Sexual health clinic
Certain sexual health clinics can advise on providers for NHS abortion services.
I’m Not a UK Citizen, How Do I Access NHS Abortion Services?
Every year, thousands of women from outside the UK, particularly the Republic of Ireland, travel to England to access abortion services. NUPAS offers abortion services up to 23 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy.
Our dedicated services are tailored to the needs of international patients. We offer same-day consultations and treatments, often allowing you to travel, receive care, and return home in a single day.
We provide transportation to and from Manchester Airport and can assist with booking flights and accommodations.
We know how much of an extra cost travel can be. We provide discounted fees on private abortions for all international patients who travel to England for abortion care.
I’m Pregnant: What Are My Options?
An unplanned pregnancy can be a shock and a stressful time for people who feel confused or alone in their situation. NUPAS provide advice and support for people to learn about their options and fully understand what’s involved in abortion care before going ahead with one. We are non-judgmental and will never persuade you to make certain decisions about your body. Your choice about your pregnancy is yours to make.
