Unfortunately I have come across this on quite a few occasions. The highest
was £25 and they cite admin costs!

It sounds to me as if the GP is charging her under the guise of the access to
medical records act. I do not know if this is the case, but it sounds to me
as if the GP is trying to cash is on his reports as much as possible.

Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] medical report
Hello All
First thanks for the feedback on my last query.
I would be interested in the general opinion of the following:
I requested a medical report from a GP 9 weeks ago and am still waiting.
The individual concerned had indicated that she wanted to see the report
before it was sent on the consent form.
She has just been in to see me and show me a letter she has had from the GP
saying the report was ready for her to see and she must pay £10 for the
privledge.
I accept that the GP can charge me (the company) for the report but have
never come across this extra charge before.
Has anyone else heard of this? Is this common?
Thanks in anticipation
