Radau laiska, kuris gal daug kam pades rasti atsakymus del nemokamo gydymo (mano uzklausa buvo sutrumpinus - ar galesiu gimdyti nemokamai UK, jei vyras bus pradirbes UK 3 menesius).
Thank you for your email of 8 July regarding access to NHS maternity treatment. I have been asked to reply.
Unlike most European health systems, which are insurance or contribution-based, the NHS is a residence-based system. Therefore, everyone who lives in the UK is entitled to the services of an NHS doctor (more commonly referred to as a GP). You have stated that you and your husband intend to live permanently in the
UK . Once you arrive in England , you will need to register with a GP to access NHS healthcare. You may wish to visit the NHS Choices website at:
www.nhs.uk/servicedirectories/Pages/ServiceSearch.aspx
where you can locate a GP in the area you intend to live. In applying to become a patient of a particular general practice there is no formal requirement to prove identity or immigration status. However, there are practical reasons why a GP might need to be assured that someone is who they say they are. Consequently, it can help the process if a patient offers relevant documents. Patients may be asked for a passport as proof of identity and evidence that they are living within the practice boundary.
Once you have registered with a practice, the GP or a midwife will organise your antenatal care and help you plan for the birth of your child.
As you intend to live permanently in the UK , you will not need your Lithuanian European Health Insurance Card to access healthcare treatment.
If you require hospital treatment, the following information applies. Current regulations place a responsibility on NHS trusts to establish whether a person is ordinarily resident, or exempt from charges under one of a number of exemption categories, or liable for charges. Under these regulations, anyone who is engaging in employment with an employer who has his principle place of business in the UK is fully exempt from NHS hospital charges. This exemption also applies to you as your husband’s spouse as long as you are living with him in the UK on a permanent basis.
In order to establish entitlement, hospitals can ask patients to provide documentation that supports their claim that they intend to engage in employment in the UK. It is for individuals to decide what to supply, however examples of evidence could include:
- proof that employment is based in UK, such as confirmation from an employer;
- proof of employment – such as recent letter from employer or contract of employment or current wage slip.
Should your husband not be working by the time of the birth, these is a further exemption whereby anyone who wishes to take up a European Treaty right to settle longer term in the UK is entitled to free full NHS hospital treatment, providing they are settling in the UK on a self-sufficient basis and not taking up state benefits.
Finally, people who meet these entitlements to NHS treatment are subject to the same statutory charges, such as prescription charges for medicines (currently £7.40), charges for dental and optician’s treatment as anyone else in the UK .
I hope that this information is helpful.
