These people include:
- under 16s and over 60s
- 16-18-year-old students
- people receiving certain benefits
- pregnant women
- people suffering from certain medical conditions
- those who receive a War or Ministry of Defence Disablement Pension who need prescriptions for their disability
To find out if you qualify for free prescriptions please read leaflet HC11 "Are you entitled to help with health costs", which is available from pharmacies, main Post Offices, social security offices and some doctors' surgeries.
It is also available online at www.dh.gov.uk
