It has been more than seven years since Wellness Medicine fees have changed. Although it has been a relatively low inflation period, costs especially wages and salaries, have been increasing.
To maintain the quality of service we provide, we are under pressure to cover these costs. We have held off as long as possible, but feel now that we have no choice but to make a move. We hope you will understand the need for these changes
