Emergency Contraception (EDM118)

Emergency Contraception

EDM number 118 in 1999-00, proposed by Jenny Tonge on 30/11/1999.

That this House congratulates the French Government for its latest initiative on emergency contraception; recognises that emergency contraception could make a significant contribution to the reduction of unwanted pregnancies but that its current status as a prescription-only medicine available from general practitioners, family planning clinics and some accident and emergency departments prevents women from obtaining it easily; notes that the risks associated with emergency contraception are extremely small and that experts on contraception have argued that it could be provided safely and appropriately by pharmacists without a prescription; is aware that the Crown Review of Prescribing, Supply and Administration of Medicines has recently examined the use of group protocols which allow appropriate professionals other than doctors, such as nurses and pharmacists to supply or administer named medicines; and believes that pharmacy prescription of emergency contraception should be implemented as soon as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
