1. The data collection period runs from April to March.

2. Other methods include the cap, diaphragm, spermicides (but only when used on their own) and vaginal ring.

3. A person contacting a service multiple times during the year will only be counted once.

4. This analysis is not necessarily representative of the uptake of contraception methods across the whole population. Contraceptives can be obtained from other sources such as GPs or direct from pharmacies, whilst non-prescription items like condoms can be obtained easily without a visit to a medical specialist.
