YOUNG people can get free contraception in a bid to cut teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

Under the Condom Card scheme in Lewisham, under 25s will be able to pick up condoms from youth clubs, libraries, schools, colleges and community health clinics, in the battle against the high rates of infections.

The scheme is being launched this Saturday at People’s Day in Catford where a team will hand out out free condoms.

Consultant in public health for NHS South East London Ruth Hutt said: “It’s a very effective way of giving young people the freedom to pick up condoms at a wide range of locations they’ll pass through day-to-day.

To register for the scheme go to kisp.org.uk or visit any of the sexual health clinics in the borough.

I can already tell that this will not have any impact on teenage pregnancies. Teenagers mostly have babies so that they can get benefits and their own council flat, not because they don't have access to contraceptives. High teenage birthrate is one of the root causes of many problems in this country and bolder actions are required to lower it.

What like Austin Rover rusty and full of holes. I've used the same one for five years now. Just wash it out. Simples.

Rather than give these things out, shouldn't they just be told to say 'NO'!

the thoughts that they are handing these out in Lewisham makes me wonder if most of the damage has already been done, I mean pregnancies are one thing but raising untold amounts of childen in Lewisham can only mean more inner city stabbings and shootings! - WE ARE DOOMED - James Martin 12/07/2011
