Fee payable to CAA?
Downunder we pay about three times this amount for a medical (assuming £100 to be a middle of the road fee).
This is the numerical amount mind you, taking into account currency exchange rates it's much closer - but that's always a fraught comparison for many reasons.
On the whole if a thorough job is done, and that's what it genuinely costs, then fair enough. However what has caused a lot of angst here is that we also have to pay the CAA around the same amount, so the total cost for a medical is doubled, or a little more (~$700).
Consequently I'm interested to know if you also have to pay a fee to the (UK) CAA, or is that all covered in the fee you pay your AME?
