The Health Minister has announced important changes to the eligibility criteria for free NHS prescriptions in England. Under the new guidelines, a broader range of individuals will now be able to access prescriptions without charge. These changes aim to reduce financial barriers to essential medicines and improve health outcomes for vulnerable populations. Eligible groups include people with certain medical conditions, pregnant women, young children, and those on low incomes. The update reflects the government’s commitment to supporting public health and ensuring that necessary treatments remain accessible to those who need them most. Patients are encouraged to check their eligibility and obtain the required certificates or documentation to benefit from free prescriptions.
