Question for a freind about entitlement to care.

[Weegiemum]

A friend has recently returned to live in the UK after 6 years in North America (with only brief holidays home).

She got back 4 weeks ago and is 10 weeks pregnant. She is worried about being entitled to routine antenatal care without paying in the UK. Prior to moving abroad she worked for approx 5 years in the UK, is British, has a UK passport etc ...

She knows she is entitled to emergency care, wonders if she will have to pay for routine care? Does anyone know?

She is entitled to free NHS Care now that she is resident in the UK. She should arrange to get registered with a GP asap.
