I have been asked to pay £25 for a letter from my GP to allow my Type 1 Diabetic 17 year old daughter to carry Insulin on a plane.
Am truly outraged, surely this is some form of discrimination against the sick?
Purely a money making exercise by my GP surgery as all these letters are templates anyway.
All the GP has to do is sign it.
But what can I do? Swallow it and pay up? Move my daughter to a different surgery? Complain?
Surely the NHS do not allow this sort of semi-privatisation for minors?
Does anyone have any ideas or good advice as to what to do next?
Many Thanks.
