Is the film Vera Drake based on a true story?

I've read a number of interviews with the director, Mike Leigh, and he has not indicated that "Vera Drake" was inspired by a single true story. He has said that his father was a doctor and his mother a midwife, which gave him a good sense of the medical/moral atmosphere of the period, but in this interview, he points out that he did not discuss abortion with his parents: http://www.indielondon.co.uk/film/vera_drake_leighQ&A.html Aug 16 05, 8:59 AM
