I would like to express my concern over the fluctuation in charges made by medical practitioners for an hgv driver's licence medical certificate. I carried out a private experiment last week, by ringing my doctor and several others, and was given a range of fees from £4.50 down to £2.
.1 was asked by one doctor: "Who is paying for the fee? Your employer or yourself?' When I asked the reason for this question, he stated that there were different charges. I assume that if the employer paid, then the charges would be higher.
I feel that this matter should be brought to the Government's notice and a uniform charge made regardless of whether the fee is paid by the employee or employer.
