Just found this page http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publications...ars/DH_4004148 which says
"There is currently no specific guidance available replacing Health Service Circular 1999/018. The Department intends there to be a public consultation regarding access to the NHS by foreign nationals. We cannot be specific over the timing but anticipate publication in late winter/early spring 2009. Once the consultation process is complete appropriate guidance will be issued regarding the rules for eligibility for access to the NHS by foreign nationals.
In the interim, where a general practice believes that it needs advice before registering (or refusing to register) a patient under their contract they can approach their local PCT for assistance."
Hopefully when this comes out (should be very soon) it will make it clear whether someone on a fiancee visa is entitled to register as a NHS patient with a GP or not.
