§ Ms JowellThe Health Education Authority ran a major public awareness campaign on emergency contraception in 1995 and 1996. The campaign was co-ordinated by the Contraceptive Education Service (CES), which is funded by the Department. CES continues to promote awareness of emergency contraception and made this its focus during contraceptive awareness week in February. Earlier this year, CES launched a new information pack containing leaflets, posters and "credit cards" giving key information, plus guidance for professionals providing an emergency contraceptive service.
