[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 759394, member: 17713"] There are 5 illnesses that get free exemptions.. Diabetes is just one... So what good would a diabetic tick box do on the front? You tick boxes... Chemist stamps or signs to say whether your card has been seen. Any scripts for any illness that is being claimed for as exempt but the chemist has not seen your card.. Well that script now gets checked... End of. Diabetes isn't the only disease involved here. Instead of whinging it would be better to get to your Practices and highlight this to patients. GP's should all have been sent leaflets that should be on display warning all patients about penalty charges...if they aren't displaying them ask the Practice Manager where the leaflets are. Get on good terms with your chemists and make sure they are telling people.. Do something active about it. There's details of a MP to contact if you're upset about receiving a fine. [/QUOTE]
