According to Government data, a single 11.7 minute trip to a GP costs the NHS £45.
(The 2013 Health and Social Care report from the Personal Social Services Research Unit states:
- It costs £27 for a 7.1 minute telephone consultation with a GP.
- Home visits from a GP lasting 23.4 minutes cost the NHS £114.
- One prescription from your GP costs £41.35, including the cost of the drug.
- A 15 minute appointment with your nurse in a GP practice costs £13.
Cheap at half the price. The NHS is one of the things Britain should be most proud of.)
