Contraception rationing10 March 2005
Almost a third of women in the UK are being denied the contraception of their choice due to NHS rationing

According to a new survey, a third of primary care trusts are restricting access to so-called 'long term methods' of contraception such as the contraceptive implant or coil.

Some GP’s even admit to not having enough free condoms. 

Dr. Alison Bigrigg, President of the Faculty of Family planning and Reproductive Health Care joins Jenni on the programme to discuss.
