Doctors moonlighting for extra cash are signing buy-to-order sick notes without even a conversation with the patient, a Mail on Sunday investigation has uncovered. One NHS consultant wrote a letter for our undercover reporter after she claimed she needed two weeks off work 'to go to the beach'. She was charged £25. The reporter was also able to obtain similar notes from several websites, telling them simply she was suffering from stress or anxiety, but providing no further details. Seven consultants were involved, with each note costing between £25 and £55.
