[QUOTE="Minesapint, post: 7208567, member: 853"] The agreement between the BMA, police, and shooting organisations, was that the police would contact your doctor to ask if there was any medical reason not to issue certificates. If there was no reason, then the doctor did not need to respond to the request, and after 14 days of no response, the police could assume no issues. My surgery chose to respond, and wanted £60 to send a template letter. I refused to pay this on principal, and was then threatened by FLO of having current certs cancelled and no renewal. I have seen my doctor once in 13 years (for a referral), so my argument was they didn't know me from Adam. The FLO agreed that a copy of my records would suffice. Some surgeries charge nothing, others are being a little naughty. It was not about the money (£60 is bugger all in shooting), it was the principle. [/QUOTE]
