Most adults in England have to pay prescription charges. However if you are under 16 years of age, over 60 years of age, aged 16 – 18 years and in full time education, are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months, have a valid medical or war exemption certificate, or are entitled to income support, income-based jobseeker’s allowance, pension credit guarantee credit or income-related employment and support allowance, or are an NHS inpatient then you will not have to pay for your prescription.
Some items are always free, including medicines prescribed for hospital inpatients.
