<p>The Department has no plans to review the current system of medical exemptions
from prescription charges. Extensive arrangements are already in place to help people
access National Health Service prescriptions. These include a broad range of NHS prescription
charge exemptions.</p><p>To support those with the greatest need who do not qualify
for an exemption, the cost of prescription pre-payment certificates has been frozen
for another year. A holder of a 12-month certificate can get all the prescriptions
they need for just £2 per week.</p>
