NHS Scotland Prescription Charges are Coming Down

1st April 2010

From 1 April 2010, the cost of NHS Scotland prescriptions will fall from £4.00 to £3.00.

If you already get free prescriptions, you will not be affected by these changes.

A Prescription Pre-payment Certificate. will benefit people who require large or regular amounts of prescriptions.

The Scottish Government plans to remove charges altogether by 1 April 2011. For more information please go to the Abolition of Prescription Charges page.
