For those that have to pay for prescriptions in England......

Prescription charges are going up on 1st April to £7.20
If you have more than one prescription charge a month, then it is worth getting a pre-payment certificate.

From 1st April the 3 month one will cost £28.25 and the yearly one will cost £104

To get a certificate buy online or ring 0845 850 0030

You can also back-date the certificate by a month and can claim back the cost by asking your chemist for the form FP57

Hope it helps to save some of you some hard-earned dosh.
Hopefully one day, England will follow Scotland, Wales and Ireland where prescriptions are concerned.

All The Best for 2023
