Doctor's Letter for Travel

[Oldoak]

Hi all, I'll be flying on holiday in May and have just started taking Victoza injectable medication. I know I'll probably need a letter - do you pay for your doctor to do a letter or not? Thanks

do you pay for your doctor to do a letter or not?

When I have asked my GP for a letter for something, they have all been free.

Thank you Tipetoo. The receptionist told me it was £25 today. My brother didn't pay for his letter (he's on insulin). I've made an appointment with the doctor to get it from the horse's mouth so to speak. I asked the question here to see what the general consensus is.

Oldoak, my understanding is that surgeries can charge if they wish; some choose to and some don't.
