What a farce!

Since my letter of March 2, my PCT seem ever more determined to scupper my 'grandfathering' arrangements. They reluctantly conceded the point that a 'grandfather' is not clinically responsible for all the eye tests carried at my practice, but then asked me to confirm that my 'grandfather' is 'at my practice'. They thought that a 'grandfather' must attend the practice despite the regulations clearly stating that a 'grandfather' need not attend that practice ever, let alone regularly!

They then advised me that they still cannot pay the NHS claim this month because there is no authorised signature, despite the fact that I have been counter-signing the forms for the past 10 months - without problem - when a 'non-grandfathering' OO completes a NHS test at my practice.
