NHS charges apply in England only and are as follows from 1st April 2023:
- Prescription (per item): £9.65
- 12-month Pre-Payment Certificate (PPC): £111.60
- 3-month PPC: £31.25
- HRT PPC: £19.30
If you have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months, or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a pre-payment certificate.
There are extensive exemption and remission arrangements in place to protect those who may not be able to pay NHS prescription charges.
