Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines.  Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.


NHS charges

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge. Increases from 1st April 2023 are shown in red.

  • Prescription (per item): £9.65 - £9.65 from 1st April 2023
  • 12-month prepayment certificate (PPC): £111.60 - £111.60 from 1st April 2023
  • 3-month PPC: £31.25 - £31.25 from 1st April 2023
  • NEW HRT PPC - £19.30 per year from 1st April 2023

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 15 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
