£45 for a health declaration form.....wot a con

[sarah500]

I couldnt believe it this morning when i went to mty doctors to finally pick up my health declaration form ( to send back to ofsted) and they said it will be £45!!!!!!!!
£45 just for the doctor to do a few tick boxes and write about 20 words.... what a con, they have you over a barrel though as you cant not pay for it as its part of the registration process
arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

sorry guys just needed to get it out!!!

xx:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

thats not too bad, I have heard them charge more :)

guttering for you though, hope you got a reciept to put through your books :D

[butterfly]

that's a bargain! mine cost £97 !!! luckily i could claim it back as part of the start up grant but it's still a con and i still had to pay out 3 months in advance of getting my grant!

[sarah500]

OMG £97 is extortionate!!
how can they get away with it??!

[sue m]

I've heard of a couple who childmind being charged over £90 and many people being charged over £40. Mine was really good, he's nice and he just charged me £15 for one but then chrged me £35 for a different letter. He knew I was on benefit at the time so maybe felt sorry for me. As if they don't earn enough as it is!? It's daylight robbery!!!!

Mine charged £65 :(

[LOOPYLISA]

Mine charged me £45 i think its awful :angry:

[caralynd]

mine quoted me £75 but then charged me £100!!! I can claim some of it back when my certificate comes through if my partners crb would blinking hurry up!!:angry:

[kindredspirits]

mine was £110!!! :angry:

[sarah707]

My boyfriend paid £55 last year... not impressed :(

Looking at the replies Sarah, you've not done so badly :p

[Bushpig]

I have put in a claim for the entire amount - I hope I get it!

[berkschick]

Mine was £95.

I out it all through my books though

[deactive]

when i read £45 i thought thats was awfull until i read the replys !! :censored: i dread to find out what mine will be :panic: , gunna ask tomorrow so i can start saving lol

[louised]

I cannot believe some of the amounts people have been charged for this, I paid £15 a year ago and I thought that was bad enough for 1 signature. I know most can claim it back through their start up grant but if you've been charged £95 that's a big chunk of your grant gone which could have been used to purchase important resources

[Hannahlg]

well i didnt have to pay for mine but this was like 2 and half years ago, but then my docotr is right nice

[DCS]

My doc charges £75. As I've kown him all my life, he weivered the fee!

Put it through as an exspense when you start minding

[disney]

i paid £80 for mine :angry: it seems the price varies from doctors to doctors still think its alot just glad we only pay it once and not yearly x

[Tatia]

I was really lucky cos my GP only charged a tenner to do mine. I think the over-inflated fees are disgusting.:angry:

[Mollymop]

I was told £20, then was called to pick up the form from the surgery and then told that it was not £20 (which I thought was reasonable) but £50.
So I too the form home an dthe £20 cheque only to find the doctor had filled in the form anyway, so after a bit of pushing from my friends on here, I sent it off without paying anything! haha

[Helpinghands]

Mine was £74 and it took 3 months!!!!! I went down there one day as I'd absolutely had enough of waiting and being messed about..turned out they lost it and didn't bother to tell me! Then they amazingly found it while I was there, spent 5 minutes filling it in (Just 2 ticks and a signature), and still charged me full.

What a joke!!

But you can claim it back so don't worry


Jo xx:) :)

[EllieF]

The highest I have heard of was £90, but some are free - its about time they put a cap on the fee as its not fair!

Lol it's only 4 years ago but I honestly can't remember if i paid anything or not!!

[cazchildminding]

mine was £30 this month... i feel better now, i thought £30 was bad, lol

[polobear1970]

mine was only 10 pounds and that included an extra letter because i'm diabetic

[kellsni]

When I did mine they quoted me £10, then when I went to pick it up they just handed it to me and walked away without asking for any money so I walked away to.:laughing:
