Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The current NHS prescription charge is £7.40 per drug or item that you are prescribed.

There are a number of circumstances where the prescription charge can be reduced or is free:

• 
  
  Some medications have no charge (e.g. contraception)

• 
  
  Some people are exempt from prescription charges (e.g. if you are over 60)

• 
  
  If you have certain long term medical conditions (e.g. diabetes), your prescriptions are free

• 
  
  If you need regular prescriptions, you may find it cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate

• 
  
  If you have a low income, you may qualify for help with prescription charges.

Please allow 48 hours, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.
