For those that don't have prepayment certificate.
If you require a prescription, ask the GP to check if its cheaper private.
A lot of medicine is cheaper than NHS charges. |

Pre payment certificate is a cheaper way of paying for prescriptions, it costs me around £11.00 a month and I get 9 items a month, it saves me a fortune!  |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
For things you have regularly also ask your GP if you can get a larger prescription for the item. That saves money too. I get a cream that is only available on prescription and is quite a lot privately but my GP will prescribe four tubes at a time for me.
Devolution of parliaments and budgets mean than Wales and Scotland choose to make prescriptions free. |
