While the UK has moved much of its business communication online, fax remains in active use across the NHS, solicitors' offices, courts, and government departments. Many GP surgeries and hospitals use fax to transmit medical records, referral letters, and prescriptions. HMRC and other agencies accept faxed documents for certain filings.

If a UK organization provides a fax number on their contact page, they expect to receive documents that way — and it is often faster than posting a letter.
