Liverpool and Wirral have plans to set up sexual health clinics in secondary schools which will provide pregnancy tests, morning-after pills and also other health advice.

Family planning campaigners are saying that the plan to expand clinics to secondary schools in Liverpool and Wirral is 'counter-productive'.

The expansion of clinics is a part of the 'extended schools' program which was started by the government in 2000. The program was originally created to enhance the health and wellbeing of England's children and teens and is now called 'extended services'.

In Wirral, 13 secondary schools have already opened up clinics. These schools are a part of the 1,000 other schools which are a part of the program.

The National Children's Bureau is encouraging to have the clinics initiated in every secondary school and college.

“Offering this kind of service in the school setting is going to promote promiscuity. There is already free, confidential testing and advice available at every GP’s surgery and family planning clinic,” said Dr. Adrian Rogers who is a general practitioner and founder of the Family Focus campaign.
