Hi Beverleyfarley
Sorry SG does not entitle you to free nhs services
You need an income related element for this
If you are on a low income you can apply for an HC2 certificate which does
CR
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
Hi @Beverleyfarley, if you're interested in finding out more about the HC2 form mentioned above, there is more information on the NHS BSA page. The first things you need to do is complete a HC1 form application and send it off. Hope this helps!

There is a prescription season ticket that anyone can buy - this can greatly reduce the cost if you need a large number of prescriptions each year. Assume these days you can buy them online - look on NHS website, or ask at a pharmacy how you can buy a prescription season ticket.
