SHOTGUN CERT. RENEWAL

[Buck]

Recently had my renewal certificate arrive, (old one runs out in October!!) and arrived just over a week after the officers visit, but I guess we are spoiled in Suffolk as they never hang about, and are very switched onto shooting.

 

Then next, I get a letter from my GP practice telling me they want me to pay them £30.00 for them to confirm my medical records, and even threatening that if I do not pay within 14 days they will be unable to process the application!! sounds like blackmail?

 

Now having checked this out with the BMA it seems they are entitled to do this, but a friend who is with another practice was not charged, just wondered how many of you have had similar?

 

Thanks

If you already have the renewal certificate, you don't need the medical report.
