Cost of GP medical checks???

[jacre1993]

This has probably been done time and time again but curious on what different areas are charging for this service?

Father in law had his done in the next village over for £60, whilst ours is £100.

Seems crazy that there obviously isn’t a structured way of pricing this but making it up.

I understand this is done for public safety but overall for what work actually is entailed in this process seems ridiculous for this amount, opposed to what the firearms dept. do for the same fee. And in some instances a significant amount less !

I feel this would be an awful lot fairer for government to regulate the costs of this and to charge more for the firearms dept. to do the work they do.

Don’t get me wrong , I’d rather neither charged anymore!!

Just curious on others experiences.

£130 at my local GP. They said they'd at first "made a practice decision on principle" not to to do it. Then come the time I requested my medical records they said they now would do them,. For £130. To which I commented that I was pleased that they didn't sell their virtues cheap.

Medcert are £60 for those whose GP is reluctant to complete the pro forma document. If your GP is cheaper then great but it sets a good ceiling price.

£50 for me, here in Rutland.

 

[Morkai]

£0

Think mine was £30 at the start of this year. Problem is the service is not a statutory one, and GPs are essentially private businesses who may choose to offer no service, or charge whatever they see fit.
I don’t disagree with the medical process, I disagree that is was not made a statutory obligation on GPs and a max charge set.

I wouldn’t mind if prices were similar but seems made up with each practice.

£80 for my 7.5T medical earlier this year.
