Non-paying pharmacists to be issued with statutory demand
Pharmacists who have yet to make their 2007 retention fee payment will be sent a statutory demand next week.
The Society’s head of registration, Andrew Gardner, says that every
year several thousand pharmacists are so late in paying their fees that
the Society has to invoke a requirement of the Byelaws and send a recorded
delivery statutory demand for payment.
The statutory demand gives those who have not paid a final deadline.
Those who fail to pay by the final deadline may be removed from the Register
by the Council. Their names will be published in The Journal and they
will be subject to a £540 penalty fee in addition to the annual
retention fee if they wish to return to the register.
Pharmacists can make payment and obtain receipts online through the “Payment
of fees” page in the registration
section of the Society’s
website.
