- Ask Nuffield Health Leeds Hospital and The Alexandra Hospital what tests before treatment would cost: their published breakdown lists them as not included.
- For hernia repair, weigh Spire Leeds Hospital (17 miles) against Spire Elland Hospital (3.2 miles): the £39 saving comes with a longer trip, so ask each how many follow-up visits are included.
- Ask whether the quote is for open or keyhole repair, and for one side or both.
