Non-NHS services

The NHS does not pay for some of our services.

You can find our fees for services in the surgery.

Advice:

To apply for a Blue Badge parking permit, you need to contact your local council directly or apply online, we at Nevells Road Surgery have nothing to do with Blue Badge applications.

The Blue Badge Scheme is for people with severe mobility problems. Blue Badge holders are able to park close to where they need to go. The scheme is managed by local authorities who deal with applications and issue Blue Badges.

GOV.UK has more details about the Blue Badge scheme, including information about applying for a Blue Badge.

Please call 01462 474000 (North Herts Council) to arrange your sharps bin collection.

Advice:

The DWP will usually contact your GP or healthcare professional to obtain medical evidence when you submit a Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) claim, the information is then sent to the DWP as part of your claim process.

We are therefore unable to provide additional letters of support as the information we provide, will normally be included in the report requested by the DWP. We therefore regret that we cannot provide additional letters of support. However you may request your medical records if you feel this may help your case. If you wish a copy of your medical records, please contact the practice who will advise you accordingly. There is no charge for a copy of your records.
