Prescription Fees

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

From 1 April 2023, the charges are:

  • Prescription (per item): £9.65 per item

For information on a prepayment (PPC) please speak to your local chemist

There is further information about prescription exemptions and fees on the

NHS website
