Just an update collected my form this morning when i asked the receptionist she said has he done it then as she gave it to me said it must have been because i had paid upfront for it top service none the less

I paid £80 upfront for mine ...and they took 6 weeks to complete it...but I made sure I asked for it to be completed about 22 weeks before my renewal so I still had plenty of time. The irony is that I changed doctors 8 years ago and they had never seen me but it "ticked the box"

@EMcC


Equates to 25p a week - or two and a half primers a week...

And other, cheaper options are out there

Just checked my Doctors Surgery and it has it listed on their website under non NHS charges and it's £100 for a firearms certificate, it says the request will take up to 3 weeks and issued within 3 days from receipt of payment. I shall be testing that out when I do my renewal next year.
They charged £35 at my last renewal.
It's encouraging that they actually have it listed on their website.

You make wasting money sound so appealing!

I'm not sure why anyone would pay their own GP more than the fee charged by the other providers of this service.

That would be good if I could have it just for the four or five weeks I shoot a year

Please let me have the details of your primer supplier!

As an aside, my last renewal of some 3-years ago resulted in a GP fee of £160. It was clearly something that had been determined by the "Practice" after serious consideration and sought to fully cover administration and also provide a little profit (for the Christmas Party). I concluded there must be lots of FAC holders in my neck of the woods, as this was most definitely not something specific to this Applicant/Patient!
