Prescription charges in England are set to rise next month. Patients will now be paying £9.65 for a single item, up 3% from the current £9.35 cost.
MoneySavingExpert (MSE) is now reminding customers who regularly pay for prescriptions to check if they can save money with a so-called season ticket. These let consumers prepay for multiple prescriptions over a set period.
A recent MSE investigation found around a million patients could save money by paying for their prescriptions via season ticket. It would save them around £40 a year.
