The National Health Service (NHS) is free at the point of delivery for all ordinary UK residents, but it is not entirely free for non-residents or temporary visitors. Individuals who do not reside lawfully in the UK on a settled basis may be charged for hospital treatment, specialist care, and non-emergency services. Furthermore, even ordinary residents must pay statutory co-pays for outpatient prescription medications, dental treatments, and eye care, though exemptions exist for children, seniors, and low-income individuals.
