Aside some exempt groups (e.g children, adults on benefits, older folks...) everyone else pays a given sum for their NHS prescription irrespective of the cost of the medication. This was introduced years back to help with funding. If on regular medications, you could look at getting a prepayment certificate which is a periodic sum and could work out cheaper if you certain number of meds frequently. Alternatively, you could ask your practice to make your script run for 2 months

Regarding requesting for investigations, it shouldn't be offered to you based solely on the grounds that you requested. If you have an issue then you could book an appointment with your GP who'd discuss this with you and what means to proceed with investigations (if required). If you're keen on a CT or MRI, its worth mentioning it there and your doctor would be able to say why or why not.

If you feel acutely unwell outside hours (and you think its serious enough it can't wait for your GP), then its 111 or A&E where virtually same process applies but in a tailored version.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate

It's an additional tax/levy and covers any service or treatment under the NHS.

It's also used to pay for a salary increase for all government workers.

That means my GP won’t charge me if I ask for an MRI or CT scan? I don’t feel well.

I’m asking because I’ve been paying for my prescription despite the IHS fees I paid before relocating to the uk.

Please gurus in the house,
Does IHS cover for MRI and CT scans?

Please I recently got a domestic assistant (cleaner) job in the NHS but I want to switch to care assistant in the same NHS.
Is it possible? Please someone should enlighten me. Thanks 🙏

This has a few more details than the original post.

Which is your circumstance?
Visa type?

It lists the visas that are reportable.

She is on student visa.
Her ex husband is on dependant visa.

The exhusband begged her not to inform the embassy so that they won’t send him back to Naija. But she’s worried if it will affect her in the future.

Note the use of "must" ? Why would you risk your visa in this manner?

The link is only talking on behalf of the dependant who is in the UK because of the marriage.
What of the person that is there to study and not depending on marriage to stay in the UK.
Is there any punishment for the person?

Please Am New Here. I want to ask if my friend divorce her dependent without telling the embassy. Will there be any punishment on her? She is the main applicant.
Thanks.
