Maxster Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Due to a bereavement on Saturday we have had to pay £157 for a doctors signature. Why and how is this value for money? And he was off yesterday and no one else can sign it and the waiting process carries on; why? The doctors receptionists don't see why delaying us making the arrangements is a problem:rant: Bereavement; who gives a toss. not the doctors and the surgery!!

geared Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I'd forge it for that, £157 is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeX Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 This is pretty common and totally unacceptable in my opinion. Our Doctors are already the second highest paid doctors in the world and they want MORE even though they do less now than they ever have. Thank Labour for this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1278953/Doctors--15m-signing-death-form.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaznay Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The combined £147 cost of the paperwork is usually charged to the funeral director, who passes it on to the family as part of their overall bill, though it often goes unnoticed. I think this is the reason why I have never come across it at our surgery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanerothyme Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Because they are money grabbing bar stewards who don't give a toss about the welfare of the public I think you're confusing doctors with bankers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
