DOCTORS CHARGES!

**silvermist** · 08-12-2011, 05:28 PM

I just called in at my surgery to ask how much my GP will charge to complete my medical form for Ofsted. £44.50! Thats alot to ask when Im not even earning anything yet!
Is this fee about average?

**emitchell285** · 08-12-2011, 05:35 PM

unfortunately it is

I paid £55 for mine

**kellib** · 08-12-2011, 05:36 PM

Mine was £25 and I really grudged paying that for what is essentially a tick in a box and their signature!

**silvermist** · 08-12-2011, 05:37 PM

I find it hard to believe that it costs that much to do it!

**green puppy** · 08-12-2011, 05:50 PM

Mine was £25 but some members on here have been charged £80-120!!

**silvermist** · 08-12-2011, 05:53 PM

Thats shocking! How do they come up with this figure and why does it vary so much?

My GP didn't charge me

Maybe I should take mine some homemade mince pies and he might do mine for free too.

My GP was wonderful and didnt charge

**silvermist** · 08-12-2011, 07:17 PM

Im going to go and see my GP and ask him personally, hoping the fact that Ive known him for years and we get on very well will help!

**Velleity** · 08-12-2011, 07:32 PM

Mine did not charge either which was fortunate as I had so little money at the time.

**nancienoodles** · 08-12-2011, 10:03 PM

I wish my GP was as nice as some on here. Mine charged me £89!!! Ouch

**silvermist** · 09-12-2011, 09:06 AM

£89!!!!! Crikey,thats loads, I hope mine is in good spirits theres no way I can afford that right now!

**greenfields** · 09-12-2011, 10:29 AM

I'll be paying £20 to get my medical back today.

**cade29** · 09-12-2011, 11:12 AM

mine charges me £60 a friend of mine at the same surgery different doctor got hers done for free so i felt tottaly ripped off.

**EmmaReed84** · 09-12-2011, 12:06 PM

I got charged £20 just for them to not fill it out properly and have Ofsted send it back to me TWICE!!! I went mad and spoke to the surgery manager and asked exactly what my £20 paid for because as far as I was concerned it paid for incompetence! I got my £20 back and an apology

**Wendybird** · 11-12-2011, 06:25 PM

I was charged £5. I don't think they had ever done one as it took ages and lots of back and forth to get a price. I would speak directly to your GP if you can.
