Prescriptions

We can give you advice and support about paying for prescriptions but we are not able to pay for the costs of prescriptions for you to get medication. You are eligible for free prescriptions if you are:

  • aged 16 to 18 and in full time education
  • receiving Income Support, Income Based Employment and Support, or Job Seekers Allowance
  • pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months (you will need an exemption certificate from your GP)
  • receiving treatment in hospital
