Dr. Henchion has given a very comprehensive presentation and many of my questions have been answered. I would just like to clarify or confirm what I have picked up from her responses. From her experience with unplanned pregnancies, does Dr. Henchion think that our sex education programme in schools is effective? Is there enough knowledge about the effectiveness of various forms of contraception out there? I believe Dr. Henchion has basically said that, in her experience, there is not but I would like her to clarify that because it is important that we get a clear message out in respect of sex education and awareness around contraceptives.
