Next month will see prices rise for all treatments on the NHS, adding to people’s woes. April 1 has already been branded ‘April Cruel’s Day’ due to the number of price increases which are set to happen.
Later on in the month the NHS has said that standard charges will go up from April 25 - meaning that the price of a check-up will rise from £23.80 to £25.80 and a filling appointment will cost patients £70.70, up from £65.20, BirminghamLive reports.
Health Minister Neil O’Brien has announced: “The most recent uplift was in December 2020, delayed from April 2020 due to the impacts of the pandemic. Whilst there has been no uplift for two years, the cost of delivering NHS dental care has increased.”
