[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 759043, member: 100904"] I sort of agree [USER=134545]@dannyw[/USER]. The wording is on the back of the prescription stating the patient has a valid medical exemption [B]certificate [/B]so no certificate no exemption, and the person collecting the prescription has the responsibility for signing that declaration. However, this is clearly a major injustice that legislation put in place to prevent fraud is being used to extricate funds from unsuspecting diabetics. Badly implemented legislation, rolled out without consideration. Perhaps a warning could have been issued before fine and greater publication of need for applying for exemption certificate first. MPs need to be made aware as I doubt many of them have a clue that their constituents are being exploited in this way. And I do believe this to be opportunistic way of raising more revenue. [/QUOTE]
