Firearm Licensing Requests – Flitwick Surgery will now process these requests

The practice has revised its policy and we are now able to complete Firearm Licensing Medical Information Forms required for making a Firearm Licence application to the Police.  As this is a non-nhs piece of work we will charge a fee of £60 to complete this paperwork.

If you are using an independent GP or company to complete your Firearm Licensing Medical Information Form then due to revised BMA guidance the practice is now required to forward a copy of your FULL medical record directly to them.   We have been advised by our Data Protection Officer that these requests should not be considered as a Subject Access Request.  In these instances we will therefore be charging an administration fee of £60 for creating and sending a copy of your full medical record.
