ll and backing this up with advice on contraception and sexual health" says Gaye Lewington from SouthWest Kent Primary Care Trust, which oversees and commissions local health services in the area.

"Recent studies have suggested that allowing pharmacies to supply the morning-after pill does not compromise contraceptive practice or sexual behaviour. This is very important because encouraging females to practice safe sex is just as much a priority as preventing unwanted pregnancies.

"It is essential that the morning-after pill is available promptly if a female feels there is a pregnancy risk, but it is also very important that it continues to be seen as an emergency measure rather than an alternative to using contraception as a matter of routine."
