Britain's Daily Mail, reports that supermarket giant Tesco, has accused Health Service trusts of 'forcing' it to supply the morning-after pill to children. At present, the supermarket chain sells the emergency contraception only to women and girls over 16 and those with a prescription.The company however, claim that some primary care trusts are now demanding that new pharmacies provide the pills free to girls under 16, and that if it does not agree to do so, it may not obtain pharmacy licences.
Tesco said it has been their policy since 2002 not to provide the morning-after pill to under-16 because many of their customers were unhappy with Tesco providing this service.
The customers were obviously were far happier with pregnant youngsters.
