Services which attract a Fee
The National Health Service provides most
health care to most people free of charge, but
there are exceptions. The NHS does not employ
GP’s but has a contract with them to provide NHS
general medical services for their patients.
Sometimes GP’s are asked to provide additional
services, which fall outside their NHS contract,
and in these circumstances they are entitled to
make a reasonable charge for providing them. The
Practice has a list of charges compiled using
British Medical Association (BMA) guidelines:

When a Doctor signs a certificate or
completes a report, they need to check the
patient’s entire medical record to ensure they
are providing accurate information. Therefore we
do ask for reasonable notice to complete
reports.
