Comment on this
Would the Minister not agree in regard to this very important service, which according to the Supreme Court should be made reasonably easily available to people, that obviously if the price is not kept within reasonable limits it could make it difficult for the very people who need it most, poor people, to have access to effective contraceptive methods?
