Whatever happened to the cap?22 Aug 2007
When it comes to contraception, are women getting the right advice?

Despite there being more choice than ever, when it comes to contraception, many women feel that they're still not getting access to the full range of products. The Family Planning Association says women who ask it for help are failing to get the right advice and information from their GP’s. It's concerned that older methods like the ‘cap’ are being forgotten and could disappear. Ritula discusses this with Toni Belfield, Director of Information at the Family Planning Association and Dr Dawn Harper, a GP.
