Nicotine Patches for over 65's

[dewaltman]

Hi, my dad is over 65 and therefore gets his perscriptions without charge.

Does anyone know if this is the same for Nicotine Patches if he gets the GP to perscribe them?

Cheers

Dont know for sure but Lloyds do a stop smoking programme and they give you what you need/want for the price of a prescription.
I know doesn't really answer your question

Just to give you an update, my dad called the GP this morning, got a perscription for 2 weeks of patches and collected them this afternoon for free.

Good ole NHS!
