in terms of changing your medication after seeing your consultant, the surgery need formal notification from him/her then they should do it no problem. If you were to follow the incorrect doseage (because they had failed to change the dose after being notified by the consultant) and harm were to befall you, your surgery would be liable.

Hi, I work for the NHS and have recently had a patient who stated that it was her right to attend which ever practice she chose. After confirming with the practice manager...I afraid to say that she was wrong. The plan to scrap boundaries for surgeries seems to have a died a death (from a rural surgery point of view that is a good thing..). It is still all about distance from the nearest surgery. And (sorry to bang the NHS drum here...but...) if you move you need to let your GP surgery know, if they need to see you and issue you a prescription and the details on it (address) are incorrect it is classed as fraud. Hope that helps (and more over that your dont hate me now!!!) teapot

The fella has been in contact again and it looks like he is happy to be amicable and accept a partial refund. To be honest that suits me fine. I hate getting into disputes with people! I will say though that i abided by the terms of trade on the forum in question. I have sold a few bits on there over the years without issue.

Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have e-mailed the fella again and given him his options...he has gone very very quiet. I will send the phone back to him (then at least I have fulfilled my end of the sale) and I hope that will be an end to it all. Thanks again for taking the time to read my post and reply. Teapot

No i am not a trader. It was an unwanted upgrade.

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and am in need of a little advice. I recently sold a mobile phone on an internet trading forum. I sold the phone brand new in the box unopened. The fella that purchased it paid the going rate for the item in question. 4 days after he received it he contacted me to tell me it was faulty (it kept switching off) and that he wanted his money back. (He wanted me to refund the full amount into his bank account before I had the phone back...) I told him to send it back and I would look into it. I put £10 into his bank account to cover the cost of return postage. In the meantime whilst waiting for the phone I looked into his profile. It would appear that he had stated in one of his other 'posts' (not to me of course) that he would like to try a mobile like the one I sold him out of curiousity.. Anyway the phone is now back in my possession and lo-and-behold shows no sign of any fault. I have had the mobile on for some 40+ hours now without any issues. So here lies my problem. I have offered to either: send him back the phone (as it is clearly not faulty) OR send it off to the manufacturer for them to look at OR refund him part of the cost in line with what the phone will now be worth to me to resell (as it is no longer brand new, unused and sealed) I honestly believe he just wanted to 'try one out, out of curiousity' (in his words), and am refusing to be the mug he hoped I would be. Can anyone advise me what to do next? or what I am legally entitled to do? He wants a full refund or he will seek advice... Thanks for reading and I'm sorry it was so long winded! Teapot
