Highlights • Citizens Advice on Prescription provides advice/support via health services to reduce financial insecurity. • The intervention included a quick referral process with proactive follow-up by case workers. • It led to fewer antidepressant prescriptions and mental health emergencies. • It reduces mental health-related GP consultations and A&E attendances. • Citizens advice on prescription likely improves mental health and is cost-saving to the health service.
