Further Information

Help may still be available for NHS charges, particularly if you are a student, pensioner, working part-time or on a low income.

You will need to complete an HC1 form. These are available from our receptionist. If you qualify, any charges you have paid will be reimbursed by the DSS. Please keep your receipts.

Alternatively, you may wish to complete the form and make your application prior to making an appointment. If you qualify you will be sent an HC2 or HC3 certificate in which case only the charges outlined in your certificate will need to be paid. Please bring your certificate with you.
