Scottish Government

Most NHS treatment is free, although there can be charges for some things.

The Scottish Government has produced two publications to assist you in understanding what you are entitled to and what help is available with costs.

Areas covered:

• NHS Prescriptions
• NHS Dental Charges
• NHS Optical Charges

Publications:

• HCS1 Are you entitled to help with help costs - full version (Available on line only)
• HCS2 A quick quide to help with health costs - short summary (Available in hard copy from your GP surgery, community pharmacist, optician or dental practice.)
