Routine screening
As of April 1st 2009, our pricing policy will be to charge for each test we perform. As a consequence, we will no longer be able to estimate the charge for work we will carry out prior to our investigations. In order to ensure that only necessary tests are performed and charged for, it is very important that relevant clinical details are included with every referral.
To request a price list please email the Cardiff Porphyria Service at CAV_porphyria@wales.nhs.uk.

Out of hours urgent referrals
Due to increasing demand on our service, regretfully we have been forced to add an additional charge to any tests we perform outside our normal working hours. From April 1st 2009, an additional £70 will be added to the routine prices for each urgent analysis performed between 17.15 to 08.45 on weekdays and throughout the weekend.
