Nigel Farage...

My baby was born in an NHS hospital. He’s not British, neither of his parents are British. Got a lovely welcoming basket and a few hundred quid in a child ISA, all free from HMG.

He now has an EHIC card (the same as his parents) which is issued by the U.K., so if the NHS tried to reverse-charge they’d be charging themselves.

Go figure.

Oh do keep up :yawn:

I don't know what drugs you're taking but they're not doing you any good at all.

I don't believe that a distinction was made as to where the baby was born. My assumption was that the baby was born in a NHS hospital.

The citizenship is irrelevant. It is the residency that is the determining factor. As it happens, strictly speaking, the place of birth is not relevant either, as it does not in itself determine residency. A British resident may be born overseas a non-British resident may be born in the UK. So what you need to say is:

A newborn baby who is a British resident has automatic rights to free health care.

How do you know? Maybe he needs to take smart drugs to reach even his current low level.

Fair point.

Ok thankyou for clearing that up. I mistakenly assumed that someone born in the UK automatically had a rights to free NHS care. Does that also mean that someone born in the UK does not have an automatic right to a UK passport?

Exactly the same here

Some babies born in the UK are not entitled to British citizenship or a passport.

I think those babies should be coated in batter deep fried and eaten.
