A woman was slapped with a fine from the NHS after claiming a free prescription for allergy pills after miscarrying her baby.
Sadie Hawkes was still coping with the loss of her child and failed to attend an appointment with her midwife to collect an exemption certificate.
The 33-year-old was then gobsmacked to be told three months later not only did she owe the full cost of the medication but had to pay a fine too.
