Important Update on the Tilbury Chadwell PCN Reconfiguration – 1st April 2025

We are writing to inform you of an important development within the Tilbury Chadwell Primary Care Network (PCN) from the 1st April 2025. To enhance patient care and strengthen our ability to deliver progressive healthcare services, the following practices, Oddfellows Hall Health Centre, Milton Road Surgery and Thurrock Health Centre will be moving under the

NHS Low Income Scheme (LIS)

If you have a low income, you may be able to get help with NHS costs through the NHS Low Income Scheme (LIS).

The scheme covers:

prescription costs
dental costs
eyecare costs
healthcare travel costs
wigs and fabric supports

How much help you get depends on your weekly income and necessary outgoings, plus any savings or investments you have at the time you apply. If the amount you have left is low, you may be able to get help through the NHS Low Income Scheme. Any help you’re entitled to is also available to your partner, if you have one.

If you have already paid for treatment, you can apply for a refund at the same time as you apply for the scheme.
