Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his timeframe is for implementing the hormone replacement treatment single annual payment scheme.
We are working with the NHS Business Services Authority to implement a new hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prescription prepayment certificate as soon as possible. From April 2023, the annual cost for all HRT products will be the cost of two prescription charges, which is currently £18.70.
