Help with Prescription Costs

Need Help With Prescription Costs?

If you have a low income, the NHS Low Income Scheme could help you pay for;

  • NHS prescriptions
  • NHS dental treatment charges
  • the cost of sight tests, glasses and contact lenses
  • the cost of travelling to receive NHS treatment
  • NHS wigs and fabric supports

The amount of help you are entitled to, depends on your household income and outgoings.  You can apply for a certificate to receive free or reduced cost treatment. All you need to do is print out and complete an HC1 Application Form below or you can get a hard copy from our main reception and post it to NHS Low Income Scheme, NHS Business Services Authority, Bridge House, 152 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6SN.
