Patients urged to ask GPs to display price list

Consumers have been urged to ask GPs for a price list for routine medical treatments.

The National Consumer Association (NCA) has highlighted the importance of price display at GP surgeries so that customers are fully informed as to what they are being charged for.

In cases where a price list is not displayed, consumers have been urged to ask their GP why such information is not available and whether they intend displaying prices in the future.
