**jaytravis** · 15-02-2008, 12:25 PM

mine was £80 and my mate who is a different dr was ment to be charged £35 but only a tenner in the end another cm who is at mt drs was charges £80when she challenged it they threatned to strike her off

Mine was £25 I think, certainly no more than £30.

Extortionate considering she basically just signed the thing! Don't think she filled much in at all if I remember rightly.

I paid nothing for mine but that is only because i am with the med centre on a RAF base and they are not allowed to charge for things like that.

I know someone in kings lynn who was charged £75 though!

Mine was £20, I can't believe the amount some of you were charged

**Mollymop** · 15-02-2008, 02:47 PM

Mine was £20, which I think is quite reasonable anything over that is a bit excessive!
These doctors can get away with charging what they like, makes me mad

I think these Doctors surgeries are laughing and making a mint!!!

In the good old days we never got charged for these to be done......well I didn't anyway!

Mine was £20. He was really good though. I'd had post-natal depression with my daughter and declared it on the form, so they had to write back to him for more details. He rang me and asked me to go to the surgery so that I was there when he was filling it in and made sure I was happy with what he was writing.

My Doc charges £75. However, as he's treated me and famil all our lives, he did it for FREE

**mumtodaniel** · 18-02-2008, 06:47 PM

My doctor charged £21, but I got this refunded. There was a form when I did my induction course for childminding and was sent a cheque a few weeks later.

Mine was £25, and was refunded when my registration came through

**tinytigers** · 19-02-2008, 12:55 PM

I havent got the form yet to fill in but I have made enquiries and they said they normally charge between £10 and £20 for Ofsted ones. I thought that was a lot lol until reading some of the amounts here.

**Heaven Scent** · 20-02-2008, 02:31 PM

I paid £10.00 to my doc last year but am sure I paid the same in another surgery years ago, so didn't think it was bad, I think they have a ****** cheek though. As a teacher I used to sign loads of passport forms for nothing and I had my daughters signed by a neighbour who was a bank manager who said that seen as it was me all I had to do was bring him back a bottle of a particular wine. A friend of mine is married to a doctor and he didn't charge a dinner lady at the local school for signing a form for her doctor. Just depends on how tight and selfish someone is I suppose.

Mine was a tenner, as well. I never got charged for forms in The States but then, for all I know, they were claiming it through my insurance, who knows?

£80 for ticking a few boxes and signing your name?!

And what ya gonna do? It has to be done. Crazy. Definitely demand a receipt and claim it on your taxes!

**ChocolateChip** · 21-02-2008, 09:32 PM

Mine charged £15, which isn't bad compared to some but they held up my application for about 5wks. I ended up having to speak to the practice manager to get it sorted, so don't know if that was some kind of discount or not.
