Staff costs - you have to have one other person. A qualified person such as a nurse FTE is £27 an hour including employer's costs.
Why is that? I’ve been having civilian pilot medical checks for thirty years and have seldom seen this “other” qualified person apart from the AME himself and certainly not at all for at least two dozen years (even though these days I need a medical every six months).
I just paid £270, btw.
