I spent half an hour looking for private consultants but there were none in my area, only down south and in London. Only one published his fees on the internet, and it seems I was in the right price range, but I didn't realize they also charge for reading writing notes! The fee can run as high as £1760:

Hourly Rate

Hourly rate £220 per hour. (+ VAT). Fee is dependent upon the amount of work involved, but usually 3-4 hours reading paper work, 2 hours interviewing the client and 2-3 hours in preparation of the report. Usually 8 hours work with a maximum fee of £1760. If client does not attend without less than 12 hours notice, fee chargeable, time taken to read the papers and 1 hours cancellation fee.

Travelling Time

Minor queries/correspondence no charge.

I saw none that I would feel comfortable approaching for treatment. The treatment I'm getting really isn't that bad, if only they would sort out the zopiclone. I can't imagine that paying £220 an hour would be worth it just to get the same old crap. Dr. Hallstrom is a specailist in tranquillizer addiction and dependance, so probably not too hot on giving out long term prescrptions for them.
