Prescription Fees

Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount. The UK Government has decided this charge is a reasonable amount for those who can afford to pay for their medicines.

Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer savings for people who need multiple medications. Find out more and buy a PPC here.

Please visit the NHS website for the latest Prescription Charges.

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.
