Morning-after pill now available for free in pharmacies across England #News # #GoodNews
Women across #England will be able to get the morning-after pill free of charge in pharmacies from today.
The move – hailed by officials as the biggest change to sexual health services since the 1960s – is expected to be a “game-changer” in making care more accessible.
Emergency #contraception is free from most GPs and sexual health clinics, but can cost up to £30 from pharmacies.
From Wednesday, however, the pill will be available for free from almost 10,000 community pharmacies without the need for an appointment with a family doctor or clinic.
