Blimey they do vary in price a lot :scared: we're going on 20th and have to have extra bloods for having tattoo's but they're going to cost £30 each. I read someone had paid £100 for a child's medical too it will cost us £50. I think it's wrong that some people have to pay so much more than others there should be a set price for immigration meds.

Thats the catch £30 EACH! That means each blood test so its at least £60 for you!

I posted a similar post yesterday on the immigration stream. I had my medicals today with my family and despite the chidren runnung all over the place in their knickers, it went fine. I would be upfront about the whole thing. The only worry I have is that I have not, by choice, given children number 2 and number 3 the MMR and the doctor said it might be queried - what a bummer.
Best of luck and welcome to the site - its priceless

Reading all the comments, I have the feeling the medical is a bit stricter here in Aus than in UK. The old bloke who saw us in Perth did everything by the book.
