Not sure if this scheme is still running but worth looking into?

If your household income is below a certain level (around £16k) you will be able to get free prescriptions, and depending on the ages you may qualify for healthy start vouchers - speak to your health visitor about these.

The benefits checker at www.turn2us.org.uk is a good way to make sure you're getting everything that's available.
