I require information of how many babies were born while their underage mothers were in the care of Devon Social Services at Totnes and Exeter. Perhaps all DSS homes would show a more transparent picture of what was happening in these care homes.
How many abortions took place during the same time frame.
A time frame : From 1985 until these homes closed for both babies born and any abortions that took place.
We do not hold a central record of this information. To extract this information would require a manual review of every social services record held during the time frame given, including all information from our archive records, which would take longer than the appropriate time limit of 18 hours. We are therefore not obliged to provide this information pursuant to section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
