[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1439201, member: 41816"] Have a look at this link. There are options available to reduce costs for multiple repeat prescriptions. [URL]http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcosts/Pages/PPC.aspx[/URL] You would most definitely qualify with 26 items on a regular basis. This is a quote from the webpage above: [I]If you know you’ll have to pay for a lot of NHS prescriptions it may be cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) – effectively a prescription 'season ticket'. A PPC covers you for all of your own NHS prescriptions, including NHS dental prescriptions, no matter how many items you need. However, this does not include other health costs, for example the provision of [URL='http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcosts/Pages/Wigsandfabricsupports.aspx']wigs and fabric supports[/URL] which are only provided through the hospital service.There are two PPC options to choose from: [/I] [LIST=1] [*][I]A three month PPC costs £29.10 and will save you money if you need more than three prescribed items in three months[/I] [*][I]A 12 month PPC costs £104.00 and will save you money if you need more than 12 prescribed items in a year[/I] [/LIST] [SIZE=4][B][I]How much can I save?[/I][/B][/SIZE] [LIST] [*][I]If you need two items each month you can save over £100 with a 12 month PPC[/I] [*][I]If you need three items each month you can save over £205 with a 12 month PPC[/I] [*][I]If you need four items each month you can save over £305 with a 12 month PPC[/I] [/LIST] [I]There are several payment options available.
