Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

For more information about Prescriptions charges please visit the NHS Choices website.

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