Morning-after pill by text

TWO schools in Banbury will dish out morning-after pills to pupils who request them via text message.

The plan – to be introduced this summer – is to combat teenage pregnancies in the area.

The service is being introduced jointly by Oxfordshire County Council and Oxfordshire Primary Care Trust. Oxfordshire County Council refused to reveal which schools in Banbury are involved as it may serve “no useful purpose and might attract unwarranted and unhelpful attention.”

  1. Anything that stops Castle Quay becoming even more of a creche than it already is has to be worth a try. I have never seen as many teenage mothers hanging around aimlessly as in Banbury.
