New payment option to spread prescription costs

A new monthly payment option means patients can now spread the cost of annual prescriptions.

Changes to annual prescriptions approved by Tynwald allows the £54 annual fee to be paid in 10 monthly direct debit instalments of £5.40.

The certificate caps the total cost of prescription items over a 12-month period and is designed to help regular prescription users save money.

Meanwhile, the government says all existing exemptions from prescription charges will stay unchanged.
