People with diabetes and or other medical conditions are only exempt if they have the certificate to say they are exempt. IE you have to apply for that certificate. This is what the NHS state and thus the fines Personally I think a better approach would be a letter to the person who claimed exemption with an application form and 28 days to return it otherwise the fine and charge will be implemented.I have a repeat prescription delivered by the chemist i have not seen a prescription for over 5 years + so i never tick a box or show a card .i still got charged for £35 for a prescription i had 6 months ago.
this is got to be stooped everyone with type 1 is exempt . the the NHS nos this. so dose the doctors.and the chemists.
back door privatization screwing the wrong people
Then again as only 20% of people in the UK actually pay for prescriptions, it would be far cheaper to give everyone free prescriptions and save all the paper work and man hours sorting it all out.
