bostonmick Posted December 19, 2015 Report Share Posted December 19, 2015 just looked on the south yorks police site and the form is the same as all forces,and cant see any part that says his doctor cannot be referee.tell him to just print off the form in the usual way and complete with his friend the doctor as ref.

walshie Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 I thought medical records were confidential and they could only ask the doctor if there was a reason why in his opinion you shouldn't have a gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
