FOR ALL THOSE NOT BOOKED MEDS YET
We have our medicals on Friday this week and have just got our confirmation letter through and stated at the bottom is this:-

With effect from 1st May 2007 17.5% VAT will be added to all medical charges. This is because the Government have extended the scope of VAT to include some medical services, including migration medicals

As if it doesnt cost enough, so for all those not had meds get them booked before 1st May
