East Leicestershire & Rutland CCG does not support prescribing of certain medication that can be purchased over the counter (OTC).

Medications requested to be prescribed after consultation conducted by a private healthcare professional, requires an assessment from our own healthcare professionals (with prescribing qualifications) to ensure it fulfils our protocol.

This includes:

1. Confirming that there is a valid private clinic letter. 
2. Checking for contraindications and interactions.
3. Checking the classification of the medication to ensure we are prescribing according to the local and practice guidelines.
4. Recommendation of prescribing medication is conducted by an accredited health care professional. This may vary according to the condition being assessed.

If you have a repeat prescription, we may ask you to come in for a regular review. We will be in touch when you need to come in for a review.

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

Help with NHS costs

In England, around 90% of prescription items are dispensed free. This includes exemptions from charging for those on low incomes, such as:

• those on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
• those who are age exempt
• those with certain medical conditions
• More information is available at NHS Choices

These charges apply in England only. In Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales prescriptions are free of charge.

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 pre-payment certificate.
