Non-NHS Services

 

BACK TO MAIN INDEX

 

The health related needs of our NHS patients are our doctors' highest priorities.

Outside of their regular working hours, doctors may produce letters or complete forms in their own time.

Given that these administrative tasks are not part of the NHS services that we are contracted for, the fees are payable.

  • The rates are determined using the guidance by the British Medical Association for such work, and represent the time and effort invested by the medical team and administrative staff.

 Why does my doctor charge fees?

 

Alongside the fees, certain waiting times are applicable.

Whilst we will aim to complete your request as soon as possible, the standard maximum waiting is 4 weeks – please note that depending on the intricacy and GP capacity, this deadline may be extended.

  • We consider each request individually, and retain the right to refuse it
  • We do not accept Non - NHS requests on an urgent basis.
