Paying for a print out of test results

10 Replies

Hi

I just wondered if this was normal, to be asked to pay £10 by my Dr's surgery for a print out of my recent test results? Next time when my dr rings with the results, if there is a problem, I will ask him what they are and write them down!

They are allowed to charge you £10 max as an admin fee, I've read on here. Seems very tight to me! My surgery never charges me. You are definitely legally entitled to have a print out of your results.

Ways round it are to ask for a print out whilst you're in with the GP in an appointment. Or write them down fully when in the appointment. Or take a photo of the results on the screen, making sure you get it all in as you need the ranges too, not just the actual result.

Ask if your gp has online access, if so you should be able to access blood results for free. If they don’t offer this service ask why not as it was an nhs england objective for 2016!

Yes i agree with reallyfedup-my surgery charges nothing for blood results but if i want a copy of consultants notes or scan results its £10 !! But there are ways around it especially if you ask nicely to receptionist-ive got around it by doing that.xx
