Any private medicals examinations (HGV & Taxi), insurance reports, DVLA reports, adoption and childminding reports, Firearms Licensing etc. are classed as PRIVATE work (non-contractual and not within NHS GP routine work). These will be carried out if agreed by the Doctor outside of their NHS working hours. Appointments will be made once your Doctor has agreed to complete this on your behalf. Insurance reports are usually applied for directly by the company that is requesting them otherwise you will be required to provide all the relevant forms to be completed by the Doctor. Patients will be expected to pay privately for this service. Prices vary, please enquire at Reception. Please note, these report can take up to 28 days for completion.

Any letters that a GP does for you that is not a referral to a hospital, so for instance, an application to support housing, or a 'to whom it may concern' letter regarding something your employer may wish to clarify (ideally they should contact their Occupational Health Department) will have a fee attached to it.  Please be advised that there is a fee for this service as this is not within NHS GP routine work (non-contractual). The fee is usually around £30.00 per letter.
