(asked on 17th April 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government (1) how many, and (2) what percentage of, GPs in England opt out of providing contraceptive services to their registered patients.
This question was answered on 1st May 2018
As at 31 March 2018, there were three practices (0.04%) that had opted out of providing contraceptive services.
The current general practitioner contract allows practices to opt out of providing contraceptive services to their registered patients. Where they do so, NHS England has responsibility for ensuring patients of those practices have access to such services.
