Report: https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk/SysS ... rma-v9.pdfInformation notice - Changes to medical information
You are now required to provide medical information verified by a GP for all firearm and shotgun applications - this includes renewals. This applies to any application, whether declaring a medical condition or not. The change is being implemented to enable the Police to make informed decisions which will protect both the shooting community and the wider public. The change will mean a consistent and fair process for all applicants, and will assist in improving application processing times. The fact you have a condition may not necessarily mean your application is refused. However, a false declaration could result in your prosecution, or your application being refused, or your existing license being revoked and your firearms or shotguns being seized.
This change will affect any application submitted from 1st August 2019.
How to request this information
You will need to request the information from your GP surgery using the provided GP Report. Present this at your GP practice with the fee agreed between you and the practice. Once completed by the GP, the GP Report must be submitted at the same time as you make your application to the Police.
Not sure if this is old news as I've only just noticed it. Whilst it states that doctors fees are optional, I can't imagine many will pass up a chance to charge!
