A scheme offering free contraception has been expanded.
Since its launch in 2022, the programme has offered free contraception to women, girls and people who identify as transgender or non-binary.
Initially open to those aged 17 to 25, the scheme's age limit was increased last year to 30.
From Monday, it is also open to women aged 31.

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said the move was important "for equality".
