Prescription Charges

NHS prescription charges are changing from 1 May 2024

The NHS Prescription charge is £9.90 for each item collected from May 1st 2024. Some items may have more than one charge. e.g. elastic hoisery; a member of the dispensary team will explain if that is the case.

The charge is a contribution to the NHS; it is not a payment to the surgery or its dispensary and it is not related to the cost of your medicine(s). If you need at least 4 prescriptions in three months or at least 12  in a year, you could save money with a Prescription Prepayment Certificate.*  Ask a member of your dispensary team for more details.

Prescriptions are free for some people – ask a member of your dispensary team for advice or visit: www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/help-with-health-costs

For help or advice on using your medicines, please ask a member of your dispensary team.
