Women and girls should be able to get hold of emergency contraception more easily without the need for a consultation with a pharmacist, say women's health experts.
A report by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommends the morning-after pill "should be sold straight off the shelf", like condoms.
The report, Better for Women, is also calling for a network of one-stop health clinics for women, offering smear tests, contraceptives and advice all in one place.
