Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those that may have difficulty in paying any charges due. (These include NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).
Prescription Charges and Exemptions
The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge where people can afford to pay for their medicines. Prescription prepayment certificates (PPC’s) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.
NHS Charges
Prescription (per item) £9.35
- a 3-month PPC costs £30.25
- a 12-month PPC is £108.10
The following medicines are free:
- Medicines administered at a hospital or NHS walk-in centre
- Prescribed contraceptives
- Medicines personally administered by a GP
- Medicines supplied at a hospital or Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) clinic for the treatment of a sexually transmitted infection or tuberculosis.
