Why is there a charge?
The cost of these letters and reports are not covered by the NHS. They are completed during the GP’s own time and as such there is a fee payable. All letters require the doctor to take time to review a patient’s medical records to ensure that the information provided is correct, then the doctor has to dictate the letter, and finally the admin team has to type it with the GP having to proof read and review it before it can be printed or emailed.
Timescales
Private letters and reports do not take priority over NHS work. Please allow up to 28 days for any requests to be fulfilled.
Content
We will not accept requests for ‘the doctor must write these exact words’. The GP will write what they know, supported by your medical record. Both the letter and the opinion they produce is final and you cannot request changes to be made. The GP has the right to refuse your request or provide alternative wording if they feel it is necessary.
