Healthcare & Treatment
IN AN EMERGENCY ALWAYS CALL 999!
The National Health Service (NHS), funded through taxation, provides free or relatively low-cost medical care to UK residents. Charges are payable for prescriptions, dental treatment, eye tests and spectacles, except for those groups of people who are exempt from payment, which include children, pregnant women and those in receipt of unemployment benefits. Hospital care and NHS General Practitioner consultations are free for all residents, and there are hospitals and clinics in all parts of the country. There are relatively few dentists now offering NHS services.
Overseas visitors from non-EU countries are eligible for free emergency treatment at NHS hospitals, but have to pay for in-patient treatment and other medical services. However, the UK has reciprocal health care arrangements with a number of other countries including Australia, the former Soviet Union states and a number of Eastern European countries, and nationals from these countries are exempt from healthcare payments.
