PREGNANT WOMEN OR WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD A BABY IN THE PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS

You get free:

  • NHS prescriptions, but only if you have a valid maternity exemption certificate issued by the Practitioner Services Division of NHS National Services Scotland;
  • dental treatment if, when you are accepted for a course of treatment, you are pregnant or have borne a child in the previous 12 months.

To apply for your maternity exemption certificate get form FW8 from your doctor, midwife or health visitor. The form tells you what to do.
