    I've edited the question to something that is effectively claim and that we can answer. If you are OK with it I'll reopen, otherwise choose another explicit, specific claim and edit accordingly.

    Just to make it clear to all readers: the sums quoted are the (estimated) cost to the NHS, not to the patient. All these services are free of charge.

  • But the real question I was getting at is: does a visit to AE for someone with a minor complaint really cost more than the equivalent visit to the GP.. And why? Does the hospital utilise more expensive resources and why

  • @TimGalvin I don't think that's one we can answer, there is no notable claim there.
