The NHS Prescription Charge will be £8.60 for eacht item dispensed from the 1st April 2017.

The NHS Prescription Charge is a contribution to the NHS; it is not a payment to the surgery or its dispensary and it is not related to the cost of your medicine(s).

If you need 4 or more prescriptions in three months or 13 or more prescriptions a year, you could save money with a Prescription Prepayment Certificate.

Ask a member of the dispensary team for more details.

Prescriptions are free for some people- ask a member of the dispensary team for advice or visit www.nhs.uk/healthcosts
