FPA disappointed in Great Britain.

The Family Planning Association of Great Britain has released a statement on the role of family planning within the reorganized system of the National Health Service (NHS). The statement is critical of the limitations placed on availability of birth control means to NHS patients. It had been hoped that contraceptives would be free to all people covered by the NHS. The government, however, made the advice on family planning free to all, but the prescriptions and supplies would be given free only in cases of social or financial need or to women within 12 months after a birth or an abortion. Thus, the effect upon the decrease of the number of abortions and unplanned pregnancies will not be as great as it was hoped it would be if contraceptive means would be supplied freely.

Free contraceptives in Great Britain.

An amendment to the National Health Service (NHS) Bill has been submitted to the Parliament of Great Britain recommending free contraception within the NHS. Free contraceptive pills and devices for both men and women who would desire them, would cut down the number of unwanted pregnancies and would decrease the number of abortions presently performed under the Abortion Law of 1969. Many doctors resent the legalization of abortion since the patients seeking abortions crowd the hospitals and take away the physician's time and hospital bed availability from patients with diseases needing immediate attention. Also, a great number of young girls undergo abortions, the consequent trauma of which endangers their future emotional and physical health. Prevention rather than termination of pregnancy would be more desirable. Besides there is a need for population control. Parliament will most likely act favorably on this proposed amendment.
