Your location can affect how much you pay to see a GP. So, someone on the West Coast might pay around $33, while a person in Wellington might pay closer to $70.

❔ We want to know: Where do you live, and how much do your GP visits cost?

These prices are influenced by underfunding, subsidy caps, and the pressure they put on wages. Read more about how the GP lottery impacts you in Harriet Laughton's piece in The Post.

I've just finished this project. This would make a great xmas prez for parents or grandparents to go in the conservatory. I can provide a free wood wax oil should it need to be reapplied at any stage down the line.
Tabletop is elm with resin is approx 48cms dia.
Base is Indonesian teakwood and 36cms dia,
Height of table is 73cms
It has had a waterproof wood wax oil applied. The design on the shaft took approx 9hrs to draw up on the computer. The design has been applied with a permanent rotring tikky graphic pen. Price is firm as a lot of hours were spent on this including the 9 hrs to draw up the design.

Price: $250
