Very high, assuming that the consultant prepares a report from the patients
notes, I would pay a fee of no more than £90.00. I have had to pay a fee of £250
but this is when a consultant has seen the patient.One other way of obtaining
the require information is to approach the GP and ask for copies of the
consultants reports. (Fee £50) Further more a OHP may be able to help and I
pay £144 for a referral to an OHP. I have often found that if a psychologist is
involved, their reports are of great value.

Hi
list,
Just wanting to get your views on what you think is a
reasonable charge for an NHS Consultant to produce a medical report. we
have requested for a report for a young lad who spent about two weeks in a
Psychiatric unit for psychosis treatment. He is now under the care of
the community team (where the consultant is based). The consultant has
requested a charge of £450 plus 10% charge for secretarial input. I
think this charge is too much considering the patient is already under his
care. Given that we are requesting for an NHS treatment report to aid
this young lad's process of getting back to work rather than for legal reason
should this charge be this high?
I look forward to your invaluable
responses as always.
Many
thanks
Lin
