242W
§ Mr. BevanA doctor is required to issue to patients under the National Health Service free of charge any certificates reasonably required by them under or for the purposes of any enactment. A list, which is not necessarily comprehensive, of certificates which appear to fall into this category has been circulated to doctors. There is nothing to prevent a doctor making a charge for other certificates.
