Office for National Statistics
Teenage pregnancies are on the increase in Cornwall, according to latest figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS.)
The new statistics show that pregancy amongst the county's 15-17 year olds has increased steadily in the past three years, despite a fall in teen pregancies in England and Wales as a whole.
In 2008 almost one girl a day fell pregnant in the county and the rate of conceptions has seen a 3% increase since 2006.
