This change aims to make the medication more accessible, especially during weekends and late hours when pharmacies are often closed. A recent YouGov survey found that nearly 50 percent of the public believe emergency contraception is difficult to obtain on Sundays, and almost two-thirds say access is challenging after 10pm.
