thought it was free - however I have received two letters from Debt Recovery (Department for Communities) within past 3 days asking me to complete a form so that they can recover their monies re my accident.
Being picked up by ambulance, admittance to A&E and X-rays.
Don't even know if I am going to get compensation yet. Do any of you know about this.

I have also. Both on private motorcycles RTC's. I was made aware by NHS letter that I owed x amount ( this was in mid 70's) for ambulance casualty pick up to hospital That was news to me but I passed the letter on to my Insurance company to deal with. The other party was summoned and went to court for Sec 2 RTA and I assume my Insurance reclaimed the NHS charges from his Insurance.
I presume JJ that these are not invoices but are asking for details - if they came from these people then simply give them those details or ask you solicitor.
RTAs - the hospitals can recover costs
see retrocops entry which is helpful
the insurance company will/would pay but you have to claim off them
which is the whole point - the NHS isnt conning you - they are plugging into funds from insurance companies who have after all undertaken the risk
so fill out the forms
by the way - will never ever be going on a plane ever - in fact I hope no holidays. My home is my castle. I'm as warm as a bug in a rug with my lovely dug. What more can you ask for.
In the event of an accident the NHS will recover their costs from the insurance company. So you need to tell them the details of your insurance . If you were hit by a car or other vehicle it is the drivers insurance that pays NOT you.
