Non-NHS Services
While NHS services are provided free of charge to patients, some services incur a fee as they are not funded by the NHS. These are referred to as non-NHS services. These can be letters, certificates, forms and reports.
GPs are NOT obliged to undertake non-NHS work on behalf of patients. Their primary responsibility is to provide safe and effective care funded by the NHS. Ashley Centre Surgery therefore reserves the right to decline requests for non-NHS work on a case-by-case basis.
These are usually completed within 28 calendar days of receiving a valid application and full payment of the relevant fee.
However, NHS contractual responsibilities take priority and may occasionally result in delays beyond this timeframe.
The fees below provide a guide to the costs of non-NHS services at Ashley Centre Surgery.
PLEASE NOTE- additional charges may apply where the work required is more complex or time-consuming than anticipated.
