Anyone in receipt of State benefits can get free medical and dental treatment - as well as free prescriptions, and spectacles. Additionally, apparently any so-called 'refugee' can too - though I don't think that should happen automatically ! (Just MY opinion !)
If you're a resident UK citizen - yes. If you're visiting the UK - no - you would be expected to pay for treatment if your holiday insurance didn't cover it !
There does not currently seem to be any free Al assessors course in health and social care in Kent,UK.
Only residents of the UK are entitled to free treatment from the NHS. Patients who ordinarily live elsewhere are subject to charges. Nationality and previous tax/NI contributions are not taken into account.
The options that are available for private health care in the UK include Dental Cover, Psychiatric Cover, Specialist Consultations, Diagnostic tests, Cancer Cover, which are covered in the private health insurance plans.
Nothing, it's absolutely free.
Free healthcare is obtainable in the UK for most illnesses and operations, although not for routine optical or dental care. France and Canada also offer a similar system, though all three countries have high taxes to pay for these services.CommentThe proportion of personal taxes spent on health care in these countries is significantly lower than the private health care insurance paid by most Americans.
Is the US mother legally entitled to live in the UK? If so, it is free (though the term 'free' is used loosely as any resident of the UK who is actually working pays into the health system, kind of like insurance). If she is not legally entitled to live in the UK, there should be a charge and rightly so as it costs the system on average of £41,000 for a normal full term birth (2006 figures). Longer stays, premature births etc obviously cost much more so someone who comes to the UK solely to have a baby on the NHS and doesn't have a right to its health care system should be charged 'something', whether it be through their US health insurance or from own pocket. Someone's entitlement to free NHS treatment depends on the length and purpose of your residence in the UK, not your nationality. Staff at the hospital should ask for your National Insurance number and you may be asked to provide documents, for example a passport, to show that you are in the UK legally. If it is not clear whether you are entitled to free treatment, you will be interviewed more fully. Documentation and a medical opinion may be required. (Source: http://www.adviceguide.org.uk)
