free prescriptions
No-cost medicine access
Free prescriptions refers to medication dispensed without charge to the patient, typically through a government healthcare system or assistance program.
In the UK, certain groups—children, seniors, pregnant women, and those with specific conditions—qualify for free prescriptions through the National Health Service.
The phrase often appears in political discourse about healthcare access: Scotland offers free prescriptions to all residents.
