They only ask for the NI number for people claiming an exemption of prescription fees as a result of being in receipt of Income Support, JSA IB, Pension Credit or with a NHS Tax Credit Exemption Certificate.
That said, I get my prescriptions free because of Tax Credits and I have *never* been asked to fill that in. I only ever tick the right box and then complete part 3.
