Yes, you have the message: wrong kind of accident. I expect the A&E stocks them for rape victims. I guess they weren't too busy or you would have got a much blunter response!

thankyou for your answers.
it's just the way he said it made me think that the A+E's shouldn't be giving them full stop, which i found strange as they obviously have a supply of them and gave me one

 I think your GP was referring to the fact it wasn't really an emergency, in that it wasn't a matter of life or death since you have up to 72 hours to take the morning after pill. Having worked for the NHS I know that some, but not all A&Es actually offer this service.
Ideally you should have visited one of the following who offer the pill free of charge and condoms;
•your GP
•any family planning clinic
•some pharmacies
•any genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic or sexual health clinic
•any NHS walk-in centre
•any young persons' clinic
Finally, continue to practice safe sex so you aren't ever in this position again!
