You are welcome to set up a regular automatic payment to help manage the cost of your health care. Reminders of overdue accounts will be sent to each patient by text or email where possible. Full copies of overdue accounts can be provided if requested.
Payment can be made to our bank account 12 3191 0058275 00 (please include your name and address as payment reference).
