Me - my GP wanted 130 quid for 10 mins work to fill out a form, bit pricey that

You - you don’t seem satisfied with the nhs

I hope you paid it and said thanks you absolute muppet. I would have to you to fuck off and sign it yourself. Only you wouldn’t have been able to because you’re not a doctor.

No I didn’t because I’m not a mug, I would ask you to explain why you think 2 days pay is fair to take off someone to fill in a form but you are either an nhs employee with a shit attitude, a wum or just plain daft.

The form needed the authority of a qualified doctor. That doctor can charge whatever they like just like anyone else providing a service. Becoming a doctor is not cheap or easy. The pay they receive represents this. Go private and see what they charge you then. Check out medical bills in the states for comparison. Have a bit of respect for those folk that actually help others as a career choice. You sound like a twat.

You sound like a Tory in fairness. How can a doctor possibly survive on 100k plus for 30 years say, just a few million quid without having to take money out of working class folks back pocket. 2 or 3 days pay for a form. And your answer is if you don’t like it tough.

There is only one twat here pal and it’s you. What do you say to homeless folk? Get a job maybe. Don’t lecture me on caring with your grubby morals.

You were asked to pay £130 for that form to be signed because it needed the authority of someone who has sacrificed a lot of time and picked up a lot of debt to get to the lofty heights of authorising your form. Appreciate folk who choose caring for others as a career and stop being a selfish twat because you had to pay for something. You sound like a utter cretin. You’ll need those doctors one day. You’ll be thankful they’ve sacrificed a lot of their life to be able to help you.

You must be a GP to come out with that horseshit, maybe we can have a tipping system you know to help them out a bit financially. By the way I didn’t pay it I already stated that but being slow and frothing at the mouth can be a distraction in life. Maybe see a GP about that. Make sure you doff your cap on the way out.

They aren't just charging for their time either. They may need their secretary to assist, but of course only the doctors are revenue generators.

The reason patients have to pay is because the NHS will not cover the cost of this sort of work, he told the BBC.

"The NHS provides general medical services. Letters for patients for third parties are not a health service," Dr Holden said.

"This is not money into the doctor's pocket. This is the gross turnover of the practice. Who's going to pay the secretary to type the letter? Who's going to pay the receptionist to sort it out?"

The GP is the only member of staff in the practice who generates external income, whether from the NHS or private sources, he added.

"Anything you do that is not part of the NHS, you have to recuperate your time and your overheads from somewhere - there is only one place and that is from the patient."

Dr Holden said it is widely accepted that a GP needs to earn a gross pay of "over £200 an hour" to keep a surgery open, and that writing even a short letter is not as straightforward as it may appear.

"What people forget is even for a one-liner the General Medical Council requires we verify that what we say and sign is true. That means a trawl through the notes to confirm that it's true.

"That takes time. The production of a one-liner can easily take 20 minutes," he said.

However Dr Holden did acknowledge that some doctors do charge too much, and blamed the introduction of the 1998 Competition Act for creating a "free for all".

"Some doctors will be very reasonable and one or two will be overstepping the mark and I do not condone that," he said.

"When the Competition Act came in, we said this would cause this kind of problem. The fact is the government said 'no, it has to be free for all

Why NHS doctors charge patients for letters

Doctors are allowed to set their own fees for letters giving medical permission for activities such as air travel.
