The prescription prepayment certificate was introduced in England in April 2023.
It covers 12 months’ worth of menopause prescription items for the cost of two single prescription charges.
It can be used against a list of HRT products, external, including patches, tablets and topical preparations.
According to the data, 1.9 million items were issued to patients with a prepayment certificate. That is around 15% of the prescriptions in 2023/24.
