The organisation in the UK which regulates drugs and treatments, the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is to hold a seminar in London as part of a campaign to improve women's health.
One plan proposed is that the pill and hormone replacement therapy could be made available over the counter without a prescription.

The emergency contraceptive pill can already be bought from the chemist but any other changes regarding prescription-only drugs would still need pharmaceutical companies to ask for a change in their licences.
