Probably, but only way to know for sure is to ask Dr.

Hi Susiekew

If you are changing GP anywhere in the UK this should all be free. All information from your old GP to your new GP should just be sent over automatically through the NHS system.

Please let us know though if you are referring to something else!

Best Wishes

Jo

Thanks for that - it is really the medical report I need to upgrade my application in Chichester. I will ask the doc. Thanks again

I used to live down that way and still visit Selsey every few weeks. The sea air down there is good for COPD. I always breath a lot easier when I visit.

Good luck with your move. Chichester is a lovely place to live. Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks for your wishes - I was brought up and went to school there.

I got my medical letter yesterday. The doctor said it would be £13 and when I went to pick it up I only had to pay £10! She must have taken pity on a poor pensioner haha. So let's hope it will help push me up the housing ladder. Thanks for your thoughts and responses.
