NHS — free care and health services

The NHS website explains free, NHS-funded care available to UK residents: GP appointments, emergency care (A&E) and many hospital treatments are provided free at the point of use. Prescription charge rules vary (prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and for certain groups in England) and some services (eye tests, dental care) are free for specific groups such as children, over‑60s or pregnant people. Access information, find local services and book appointments at the NHS homepage.
