Whenever I came across anyone who wasn't UK resident I handed them the relevant paperwork so they could be billed.
My old man is ex Forces with some residual health effects, and he wouldn't dream of getting free NHS care. But then he's a decent man.

As they say in the military always dwell a pause of 2 marching paces before you say anything. Thanks to all those who had constructive comments about my question. For those who didn't and played devils advocate........well you know😃
Please don't jump to conclusions.
Anyway why do you want to know?

It was a serious question.
Are you suggesting that an English ex-serviceman is entitled to health care benefits paid for by the UK wherever in the world they reside and for any health problem that they may encounter even if unconnected to their time as a soldier?
Such as an in-grown toe nail or Alzheimers?
