Legislation introduced in January 2001 has meant that progestogen only contraception is now available without prescription for women aged 16 years and over. Patient records of two emergency departments in the South East Thames region between 2000 and 2001 were reviewed and it was found that there was a 52% reduction in the number of women attending these emergency departments with requests for emergency contraception. These findings suggest that the legislation has meant that more women are getting their emergency contraception without prescription from pharmacies as compared with emergency departments.
2001年1月出台的立法意味着，16岁及以上的女性现在无需处方即可获得仅含孕激素的避孕药。对泰晤士河东南部地区两个急诊科2000年至2001年期间的患者记录进行了审查，发现前往这些急诊科要求紧急避孕的女性人数减少了52%。这些发现表明，与急诊科相比，该立法意味着更多女性无需处方即可从药店获得紧急避孕药。
