Message: <blockquote data-quote="graj0" data-source="post: 771626">Sorry that I'm only just getting to this thread after so long, I got something through eMail that I am now looking at, as there are 20 pages, I haven't looked at all of it but it sounds completely bonkers. What are the powers that be up to?I was diagnosed type II in 1997 and they knew from my prescription that I was diabetic and was never asked to produce an exemption certificate. Now I'm over 60 prescriptions are free anyway, so no problems . . . . . . yet.I know that Liam lives in Scotland where they pay no prescription charges at all.I think if molivers73 has been issued with this fine and it's a mistake then surely you just have to say that it's a mistake. If some rule has been introduced whereby a certificate is required, how was that information conveyed to anybody that it affected, as I mentioned, I have never had anything. The pharmacist must be giving out the insulin (I think I saw type I mentioned) and surely the pharmacist should have known.There seems to be a trend where people are being handed fines and I think the powers that be just hope people panic and pay up. I'll see them in hell first. Just like Parking Eye who recently fines me £100 for parking in Kingston Hospital, with a disabled badge. I was taking my dad for an appointment and he was all for paying up, I said I'd go to jail first. Luckily PALS were very good in helping to sort that particular problem, but if my dad had been on his own, he would just have paid, perhaps that's what they hope will happen here.</blockquote>
