My certificates are currently with the police for renewal. Today I received a letter from my GP requesting £66 to cover the cost of sending a medical report to the police.
I have never suffered from any condition which would affect my suitability to possess firearms and do not feel inclined to pay the fee.
The British Medical Association website states that doctors should contact the police to inform them that the report will not be sent as the fee has not been paid. I am aware that if a response is not received from the doctor within 21 days of the police request then it should be assumed that the doctor has no concerns, but has anyone had any issues as a result of failing to pay?
