Doctors are calling for the morning-after pill to be sold in corner shops, supermarkets, and petrol stations alongside medicines such as paracetamol, after a new survey suggested many people worry they cannot access emergency contraception outside normal pharmacy opening hours.
The proposal, put forward by the College of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (CSRH), would see the morning-after pill reclassified under the General Sales List, allowing it to be purchased directly from retail outlets without first speaking to a pharmacist.
