Here in Channel Islands(Guernsey)everyone pays £45 for Doctor and £25 for a nurse appointment.Prescriptions are £3.70 unless its for something like contraception which comes under"private"and costs £12.00.If you need an ambulance you pay £200 unless you join a healthcare scheme here which costs approx £40 a month per person which pays all docs and ambulance fees.Once you have seen the doctor and he/she refers you to hospital its free but a simple appearance at A+E will still incur a £45.00 charge Mon-Fri before 6pm.After 6 pm and weekends its a more heftier charge of £90.
This week so far I have paid out £300.00 for Doctors.1x appointment for wife.3x appointments for the baby as shes ill and 2 for me as I had a chest infection and high blood pressure which saw me spending £92 for a monitor to be put on for 24 hours.The standard cost is £57 for doctor for a visitor but the government pays a grant of £12.00 if you live here.There are some pros.You can get seen by a doctor in the same day.Your bloods/pathology comes back after 24 hours and whatever you have is treated.if you need to go to hospital for an op there isn't this 3 month wait like you have in UK
