If you have a query about your prescription, please telephone the dispensaries from 09:00 until closing.

If you are required to pay for your prescription, payments can be made by cash, cheque or credit/debit card. No medication can be taken without payment having been received. If you are unsure whether you need to pay for your prescription, please ask one of the dispensary team who will be able to advise you.
Any proof of exemption should be shown at all times.

Please ensure that you book an appropriate appointment to avoid unnecessary delays to further prescriptions.

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
