Why am I charged?

Non-NHS Services

Most of the services we provide at the Practice are funded by our NHS contract.

Some services requested by patients fall under the category of non-NHS services. These services are not funded by the NHS and
may include tasks like completing medical reports, writing letters or certificates, insurance reports, or certain vaccinations.

Since GPs are self-employed and need to cover their costs for non-NHS work, they charge fees for these additional services.
This type of work is usually completed outside of the doctor's NHS-contracted time, and it requires the GP to review your medical
records thoroughly, which justifies the extra charge.

Notice to Patients

We do not provide housing letters for housing issues. While we understand that housing difficulties can be stressful, these matters are handled by your local council authority.

If the council requires information about your medical condition, they will contact us directly with your consent.

Thank you for your understanding.
