Do you charge for the referral, letter or whatever?

No, but we do charge for authenticating a claim form. When some of the
patients complain about the £15 charge - I say, "It's 50p for the signature
and £14.50 for being
qualified to sign the form!". All the consultants are requested not to
authenticate forms but to return them to the GP for signing.
