NHS Prescription Charges
The NHS prescription charge is currently £9.00 for each prescribed item, which means that there is a charge for each different drug or medical appliance on your prescription. We have facilities for you to pay by cash or a range of debit and credit cards. Many people are automatically entitled to free medication, others can apply to get help with health costs and our team can help provide further information. 

Help with Health Costs and Pre-payment
If you’re not currently entitled to free prescriptions you could save money with a prescription pre-payment certificate. This lets you get as many NHS prescriptions as you need for a set price, so if you regularly pay prescription charges it could save you money. You can buy or renew online.
