Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

From 1 April 2020, the charges for NHS prescriptions are:

• current prescription charge – £9.15 per item
• three-month pre-payment certificate (PPC) – £29.65; this will save you money if you need more than three prescribed items in three months 
• 12-month PPC – £105.90; this will save you money if you need more than 11 prescribed items in a year
