- 40.9 abortions per 1,000 women aged 16-19 from 1998-2002 (27 in England)
- 7.2 still births and deaths per 1,000 women in 1997 (8.4 in England)
- 9.3 still births and deaths per 1,000 women in 2001 (8 in England)
Redbridge's Annual Public Health Report notes that access to abortion services in the area is provided through a clinic in neighbouring Waltham Forest. It says: "All primary care trusts are required to ensure that there is good access to first trimester abortions. This is currently not the case for Redbridge residents and is being addressed."
