Marie Stopes International services for employees

MEDIA STATEMENT

09 August 2010

Yesterday, a Sunday newspaper published a story about the subsidies Marie Stopes International’s employees and family members receive when accessing our services.

These include subsidising contraception, condoms, STI and HIV tests, Well Man and Well Women health checks, vasectomy, female sterilisation, ultrasound, family planning and abortion.

Tracey McNeill, Vice President of UK and Western Europe for Marie Stopes International said the following to the Sunday paper:

“As with the majority of health service employers, we subsidise a full range of our health services for our staff including Well Men and Well Women health checks, contraception, cervical cancer screening, unplanned pregnancy advice and abortion.

“The majority of our services are free for the general public at the point of delivery as they are covered by NHS contracts.

“As a responsible employer, Marie Stopes International promotes a full range of sexual health information and contraception to our employees. This reflects our position that all women and men – including our employees and family members - should have access to accurate, unbiased information about all their contraception and sexual health needs.”
