Breast Screening Helpline now available !

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has today announced an issue with the NHS Breast Screening Programme, which led to some women who were due to be invited for a final routine scan between their 68th and 71st birthdays failing to receive their invitation. Up to 309,000 women aged between 70 and 79 will now be offered the opportunity for a catch-up NHS breast screening test this year. The decision follows analysis by Public Health England (PHE) dating back to 2009, which found that a number of invitations for a final test had not been sent out to women between their 68th and 71st birthdays. The total number of older women affected since 2009 is estimated to be approximately 450,000. A dedicated advice line has been set up for women who believe they did not receive an invitation. Please call 0800 169 2692

Prescriptions Charges

The NHS prescription charge is £8.80 for each item from 1st April 2018. Some items have more than one charge, a member of the dispensary team will explain if that is the case. The NHS prescription charge is a contribution to the NHS; it is not a payment to the surgery or its dispensary and it is not related to the cost of your medicine(s). If you need at least 4 prescription items in three months , you could save money with a Prescription Prepayment Certificate. Visit www.nhs.uk/healthcosts Prescriptions are free for some people , ask a member of the dispensary team or visit www.nhs.uk/healthcosts.
