So, Asuming that your family member is in compliance with the Law, and are not taking free treatment to which they are not entitled, then they can ask for a Medical Treatment Visa:Can my visitor come to the UK for private medical treatment?
Yes. Your visitor can come to the UK for private medical treatment. However, they must be able to show that they:
have made satisfactory arrangements for the consultation or treatment that they need
