I've had a situation where I was denied what the NHS website said was available. I called up NHS England and they said to have a chat with the practice manager and ask what guidelines they where following. This worked. Sometimes surgeries are just trying to cost cut and bank on patients not knowing what they are entitled to. However I would also research into whether you qualify for the tests rather than they just being available.
