Non-NHS Services

While NHS services are provided free of charge to patients, there are some services that are chargeable as they are not available of funded by the NHS; these services are referred to as non-NHS services.

GPs do not have to carry out non-NHS work on behalf of their patients and their priority will always be the provision of safe and effective care to their patients, funded by the NHS.  Ashley Centre Surgery reserves the right to decline to undertake non-NHS work on a case by case basis.  

Non-NHS work such as certificates, forms and reports will usually be processed within 28 calendar days of receipt of a valid application and payment of the relevant fee. However, NHS contractual obligations will always take priority which may result in non-funded NHS work taking longer than 28 calendar days on occasions.

An indication of the fees chargeable by Ashley Centre Surgery can be found below.  We reserve the right to charge more that the stated fee in the event that the work involved is deemed to be excessive.
