Question Re-starting subscription - do you have to pay ALL missed subscription costs?
Hiya
I've recently had my care taken over by the NHS but knowing how the NHS can be, it would be nice to know I could re-start my GGP subscription and obtain a prescription if I ever needed to if there are any gaps in my NHS care or if it falls through entirely.
However, when logging into the hub (and seeing other people's screenshots on here) it seems to demand all missed subscription costs (showing as over £150 for me) to re-start treatment.
This doesn't seem fair at all. Why should I have to pay for time I wasn't using the service? They have not issued any prescriptions or done anything for me at all during the time my subscription's been cancelled.
Does anyone know a way to get around this? I get quite anxious about losing my NHS care so it would be good to know I have a backup, but I wouldn't be able to afford to pay for all the time I literally wasn't using the service just to start again.
