Charges for NHS prescriptions will increase, from 1 April from £9.35 to £9.65 per medicine dispensed.
Patients who pay for their prescriptions and who have 2 or more items per month can save money with a prescription prepayment certificate.
The cost of these will also increase from 1st April but for now the 3-month PPC costs £30.25 and the 12-month PPC costs £108.10. There are several payment options available. If you choose the 12-month certificate, you can pay for this upfront, or by 10 monthly direct debit instalments. The quickest way is to apply online. See details on the link below.
