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.
