The NHS provides health care free of charge to most people and there are no prescription charges in Scotland. The NHS does not, however, cover certain services or issue certain drugs on NHS prescriptions and therefore charges may be incurred for these services.
For example, Kingussie and Laggan Medical Practices charge NHS patients for the following services:
• Medical examinations for employment or sport
• Private sick notes
• Insurance forms
• Private prescriptions
• Private letters
Please read our information leaflet on seeing a consultant privately here.
Please be aware that if you request a letter from the doctor for medication you are taking with you when you travel, holiday cancellation due to sickness, fitness to travel or fitness to exercise, you will receive an invoice for £30. This service is not funded by the NHS Highland Health Board and we therefore have to recoup our costs for the time taken to produce letters for patients. There may be a similar charge for other letters you request from us, such as a referral for private treatment, so we would suggest you contact us at nhsh.gp55930-admin@nhs.scot to confirm, before making your request.
A list of charges is available below and from reception, however, this list is not exhaustive and may be subject to change without notice as GPs are increasingly asked to become involved in a variety of non-medical tasks. Our charges reflect national averages wherever possible.
Sometimes, GPs are asked, with their patients’ permission, to perform these tasks by, for example, prospective employers or insurance companies who need truthful and accurate information. We try to respond to these requests as promptly as possible but often the response will require taking ample time to read through patient notes in order to answer specific questions.
It is a condition of remaining on the Medical Register that GPs only sign what they know to be true. So in order to complete, or even just to sign, a very simple form, the doctor may have to thoroughly check your medical record to ensure absolute accuracy. The charge to you is a reflection of the time taken to check the information requested and/or the degree of responsibility entailed in signing the document.
