Where can you get the morning after pill at the weekend?

My mate needs it, and is a bit tight on money so free would be better.

I was going to say Tesco but not free.

Chemists - she'll have to pay for it though. You could try the local out of hours GP service as well to get it on prescription. If you ring your surgery you should get a message giving you the number for the out of hours service

I think most chemists will give it (phone to find out first to avoid embarrassment adn inconvenience) and in many areas they give it free.

Any pharmacy can do it, and most of them seem to be open on Saturdays.

out of hours gp or possibly at the hospital

I've never heard of it being given out free so really glad to hear that. They definitely do it in Boots but she will have to have a chat with the pharmacist. Think it was £22 the last time I took someone.

I am sure (but not 100%) that it's only those under a certain age that get it free, certianly in Boots this is the case. I think it's under 21!

I don't know in which areas they give it free. Possibly those with high abortion rates, or teen pregnancies? Or maybe it's at the discretion of the local health authority, and they decide what they would rather fund. I've no idea about these things.

I do know a fridnd, who is well over 21, was given it free in Boots, in Warwickshire.

boots in warwickshire/west mids here aswell

It costs about 20 quid from a lot of pharmacies.

Alternatively, contact out of hours GP, family planning clinic (often have Saturday sessions) or A&E.
