NHS Treatment.

[RedKite2010]

Hi. I was just wandering if it was possible for a LEGAL Immigrant (visitor) to receive treatment on the NHS or do they have to pay for it.?

The thing is my girlfriend had to have some treatment earlier this year and is due for a check up in October.

She is currently in her home country and is planning on visiting me very soon in September/October and will be staying in the UK for several months.

I was wandering if she had the check up in the UK, or further treatment was required then would she have to pay for it?

She has a job in her country + medical insurance + savings.
So it is not a question of travelling to the UK specifically for medical treatment but if medical treatment is required then would she have to pay for it?

Thanks.
