Scotland first country to supply femine hygene products for free
free towels and tampons are to be supplied to all those that need them in Scotland.
Although this law has only recently been passed in the Scottish parliament when i was there in the summer i noticed in public toilets there was a box of tampons and one of towels left out for general use
now to wait to see if the rest of teh UK follow suit

Re: Scotland first country to supply femine hygene products for free
Progress is always a good thing, right?
maybe free condoms too - not as important necessarily as the hygiene products, but it would certainly help in inner cities especially.

Re: Scotland first country to supply femine hygene products for free
Not just in Scotland but throughout the UK details vary by location some places its mail (male?) order others you get them via free prescription and in yet others you have to go in person to a family planning clinic.
like provision the condoms supplied vary by your location (the British National health service isnt really very national) I remember when I first got married in the 1970s I was given six months supply by my doctor they were like a comedy selection pack some were huge, others tiny many were lurid shades of primary colors.
I think things are better these days - I hope they are!
Across the border in the Republic of Ireland condoms were illegal to own during the 1970s later you could get them on prescription but only if you were married!
things have completely changed these days

at the moment it is reduced to being the National Covid Service
Many routine out patient surgeries are postponed (read cancelled) in order to free updoctors and nurses (and ventilators) to treat covid

Re: Scotland first country to supply femine hygene products for free
well that's true of most competently run countries, I think.
At least now that there is going to be some semblance of sanity restored to the US, perhaps the other places that have been blindly following their example can wake up and start actually saving lives....

It's the !@#$. I was a visiting nurse in London, nightmare. It worked out well if you lived in Chelsea or Westminster, not so well in Hackney or Mitcham.
