Leger clinic UK almost doubling their prices through enforced Medichecks bloods needed

I pay £276 a year to be part of Leger, with medication costs on top of that. They've always been great and Dr Savage has never had an issue giving me a letter to ask my GP for bloods, and my GP has always been happy to do it, and actually my GP now says he doesn't need another letter and has put me on a repeat blood test schedule.

Got an email from leger today today:

In August 2024, Leger Clinic was acquired by Medichecks, our blood testing partner. I know that Medichecks will be familiar to many of you who will have used their services over the years.

In future, all monitoring blood tests will be provided by Leger and we will no longer accept blood tests from alternative providers. Being part of the Medichecks group means that we can offer significant discounts on blood tests, far greater than the 10% discount code we have supplied to-date. For example, our Complete TRT Blood Test is priced at £79 (excluding clinic blood draw fee)

For those of you who have pre-existing arrangements with your GP and do not require a letter from us, we are giving you 3 months’ notice of this change which will begin on 1st May 2025.

So if I do the 2 blood tests leger ask for per year through Medichecks, at £79 each plus the £50 drawing fee for each one, it is essentially doubling my yearly fee with them, which is a ridiculous increase. Gonna need to look elsewhere.
