Prescriptions Charges and Exemptions

Extensive exemption and remission arrangements protect those likely to have difficulty in paying charges (NHS prescription and dental charges, optical and hospital travel costs).

The NHS prescription charge is a flat-rate amount which successive Governments have thought it reasonable to charge for those who can afford to pay for their medicines.  Prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) offer real savings for people who need extensive medication.

Please allow 5 working days, excluding weekends and Bank Holidays, for your request to be processed. Any problems please telephone the surgery.

Framfield House Surgery provides a medication delivery service for housebound patients who are unable to come into the surgery or have a relative or friend unable to collect their medication.  This service is free of charge and operates Monday - Friday.  The medication is delivered by our own staff who are bound by our confidentiality policy.
