[QUOTE="Andrew61827, post: 779495, member: 162550"] Currently in the process of attempting to contest this charge and received this from my MP's secretary today:- (I have replaced my MP's name with X) [I]Please find attached the response X has received from the NHS Business Services Authority who have decided to uphold the decision to fine you. I appreciate that this will be disappointing for you. It appears me to that the system is not designed to (nor does it have the capacity) deal with complaints, and there quite simply is no appeals process as such. The system seems is so rigid that they have an obligation under the Regulations to issue fines for any prescriptions ‘falsely’ claimed. X feels this is unfair and will raise the inflexibility of the system with the relevant Government minister. However I must stress that even if she writes today I would certainly not expect a response in advance of the 03 March 2015 deadline you have to pay the fine by, so unfortunately I would recommend that you should pay the fine before it increases. I will of course ensure you receive a copy of the response from the Minister. Really sorry I couldn’t be of any further immediate assistance. Happy to discuss if you have any questions. Best wishes[/I] [/QUOTE]
