The National Health Service provides entitlement to free hospital care and health care, based on being ordinarily resident, that is living in the UK lawfully for more than six months. It is not based on nationality or having a British passport, and actually not ordinarily resident people can access health services in the UK, but subject to charges for visitors. And there are exemptions to these charges for many groups of people, including asylum seekers, the spouse partner, children of anyone that is ordinarily resident or anyone exempt.
