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.

In patients receiving repeat prescriptions for medication which is available to purchase over the counter a copy of the attached letter from CCG will be given to them explaining this and the medication will be removed from repeat prescription.
