«Breaking News» Severely disabled 19-year-old with a mental age of just two is fined £100 by the NHS

A severely disabled teenager was fined £100 by the NHS after claiming a free dental check-up -which her father says she was always entitled to.

Aimee Morrow, from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England, who has a mental age of two, was told by the health body that she had 'wrongly' claimed the free check-up.

The 19-year-old, whose disability means she requires constant care, was also warned that she could face a £50 surcharge if she resisted the fine.

The teenager's story is among the 1.4million cases that are now under investigation by the National Audit Office (NAO) after claims emerged that hundreds of vulnerable patients may have been wrongfully targeted by the system.

Father John Morrow, 62, said that his daughter had always been entitled to the free check-up due to her severe disability.

He added that the NHS only withdrew the fine after he sought help from his daughter's special needs school.

He told the The Sunday Times: 'The whole thing was an absolute farce. I told them I was not going to pay it and they can take us to court.

'I am just appalled by the levels of incompetence.'

Following his daughter's dental check-up, Mr Morrow was told that the debt would be sent to the UK debt collection agency- Akinika Debt Recovery firm.

The debt also included the cost of the check-up itself which was £20.60.

Ms Morrow's case comes after independent MP Frank Field asked the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to release figures on the amount of revenue that was being generated by issuing penalty charge notices.

The figures, from 2018, revealed that £13.8million was generated from dental treatment and £23.8million from prescriptions.

NHS penalty charges are targeted at those who incorrectly claim free prescriptions or dental treatment however hundreds have now claimed that they have been wrongly fined.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
