Why do I have to pay my dentist £55 for her referring me to the hospital?

Q.
My dentist has told me i need to have my wisdom tooth removed. Due to it not being able to fit in my mouth and only partially exposed this has to be done at hospital. My dentist told me i will have to pay her £55 to write a referral to the hospital, and that the hospital may or may not decide to remove it (depending on how much pain i am in because of it). Why do i have to pay £55 to my dentist, even if the hospital chose not to remove it?,
