Doctors say that the morning after pill should be sold ‘straight off the shelf’ to make it easier for women. What do you think?

to be made available "in front of the counter" and off the shelf, alongside pregnancy tests and condoms.

In England, contraception services are commissioned locally and are on offer in sexual health clinics, some GP surgeries and most pharmacies - but are not always free of charge. Professor Lesley Regan, president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said the progestogen-only contraceptive pill was very safe, and a consultation with a GP before starting to take it was "unnecessary".
