NHS For US Citizen

[TuffyUK]

If my American girlfriend comes to the UK to have a baby under a VWP will she be entitled to use the NHS for the birth services.

Everywhere i look seems to suggest she can until her VWP has ran out.
And any further needs for the baby would be met under the NHS as the baby would be British.

Anybody shed some light on this issue?

My mother was able to use the NHS while she was visiting UK, I think it should be same for your GF. She was hospitalized in Leeds for a few days. Ambulance was called at the place we were staying and she was taken to the hospital.

UK citizenship law no longer grants citizenship at birth to all those born in the UK. There are other conditions that need to be met.

And any further needs for the baby would be met under the NHS as the baby would be British.
