A group of GP practices is asking patients to pay before they see the doctor because more people are skipping on their bills.

Green Cross Health is rolling out a pay on the day policy across most of its 67 clinics nationwide, following an increase in patient debt levels over the past 6 months.

It says in the face of an ongoing cost of living crisis most GPs are facing the same problem.

Visual journalist Marika Khabazi asked people how much they pay to go to the GP, and how they'd feel about paying before they see the doctor.
