How can they do that, when I registered before about 5 years ago it cost me £10. Its really unjustified. grrrrrrrr

Iwas told mine would be £30 - went to pick it up as they had a query - was told that it costs £60 - they gave me the forms back plus my cheque.

The doctor had filled in the forms!

So I got mine done for nothing!! lol

I made an appointment with my doctor and just asked her to fill it in for free, she said sure and phoned me in 3 days to say it was done. I think the best bet is to ask the doctor direct dont deal with receptionists.

That is what I am going to do I think, book an appointment ( I need to see the doc anyway) kill two birds with one stone

Thanks for the idea hannahemilie

Just add my bit - mine £58
It really adds up doesn't it?

I was hoping to be up and running by now, earn some money, but still waiting for CRB check to clear (got 3 already).

Oh well.....

**samb** · 22-07-2010, 08:36 PM

Mine was £75. I was told it is up to the dr to decide what they want to charge and would be approx £30. I complained twice but was told to pay or not get it back :-(

You are so right...it does add up! Money is so tight with me at the min it has annoyed me that these doctors think they charge what they like.
I am putting my plan into action next week ***Mission Sign Health Dec for Nothing Mr Doctor***

Hi,

Mine was £80 a few months ago - and after paying that he didn't fill it out right and ofsted had to chase him up - i have the most simple uncomplicated medical history ever!

I think doctors should only be allowed a set charge across the board as it seems to me that my doctor was making a big profit from completing my form!
