In response to recent correspondence on this issue, the NHS Business Services Authority have confirmed that they do not cancel prescription prepayment certificates (PPCs) without notification. There are some circumstances where an auto-renewal of the annual PPC does not take place, however the PPC holder is notified in advance at the address or email provided.
