Petition Action

Make NHS business authority unable to fine you without making you aware you owe

Petition Details

I was fined over £100 for an unpaid prescription fee I didn't know I owed for, the NHS business services authority never contacted me to tell me I owed them for a prescription they just sent me a fine months later.

Stop giving fines to people who are unaware they owe money

Additional Information

Before being fined the NHS BSA should give you a chance to pay the original outstanding amount. Just sending out fines is not fair and not right

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

If you were entitled to a free prescription, or had an exceptional reason not to pay, you can challenge a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). You can find out how to challenge a PCN here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
