I'd think not that much
On a private clinic the ultrasound is something like £50, so the real cost will probably be a lot less than half of it. That includes a picture that you don't need when it's just a normal test. The breast check is done by hand by the doctoc, who checks for cysts, no machines are used there. That's 5 extra minutes or their time.

And I suppose that budget includes as well that you can wait 4 weeks to see a GP and if things get worse then, well, that's ok as the cost benefit analysis says so.
