The government has said that women from all over England will be able to receive morning pills to get rid of pharmacies later this year.

Emergency contraception is already free from most GP and sexual health clinics.

But ministers say that getting it in pharmacies is a “postcode lottery” – with some councils with the funding of free prescription, while women can pay up to £ 30 elsewhere.

It is expected that this step will free GP appointments and reduce the inequalities faced by women trying to use drug in disadvantaged communities.

emergency contraception Is the drug designed to prevent unwanted pregnancies. It is usually taken within 3 to 5 days of unprotected sex, but the sooner it is taken, the more effective it is taken.

According to the government, by providing the morning tablet through NHS in pharmacies, some women will be eliminated “unfair” obstacles if needed to access it.

Health Minister Stephen Kinnok stated that “equal access to safe and effective contraception is important for women’s healthcare and the foundation stone of a fair society”.

He said, “Women across England face an inappropriate postcode lottery while demanding emergency contraception, where they live, where they live.”

Kinnok stated that the plan would “ensure that all women can use this necessary healthcare, whether they need it, whether they live or have the ability to pay them”.

The initiative will be announced on Monday as part of a comprehensive package of investment for reconstruction of community pharmacies sector.

The National Pharmacy Association welcomed the move, stating that it represents “good news for patients and pharmacies”.

But it was stated that it was important that NHS “fully reimbursement” pharmacies were taken for time, which could be taken to conduct the necessary consultation before the tablets.

Free emergency contraception is prescribed to be available from pharmacies in England later this year.
