NHS centres hope fee will deter fake claims
Sheffield doctors have started charging whiplash claimants for diagnoses after a spike in applicants.
Three doctors in the city have started charging claimants around £21 for diagnosis and treatment, according to the Mail Online.
The NHS centres hope that the fee will be enough to deter would-be chancers from bringing a fake or exaggerated claim.
These fees are rarely charged but are legal up to £21.30 under the road traffic act 1988.
