Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

• those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
• those who are age exempt
• those with certain medical conditions
• More information is available at NHS Choices

From 1 May 2024, the NHS prescription charge will rise to £9.90. The cost of an NHS prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) will be:

• £32.05 for three months
• £114.50 for 12 months (patients can spread the cost and pay in 10 monthly instalments)

The cost of an NHS hormone replacement therapy (HRT) PPC will be £19.80.

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
