Thats right, but we intended to spilt our time 50:50 between the UK and our new house in Cebu and accepted that we would not be able to gain access to NHS treatment unless and until we became permanent UK residents again.
Now things have changed and I may well need regular treatments so the decision to go and spend longer than 3 months in Cebu needs to be re-examined. Nothing can really be decided until I know exactly what my prognosis is, and that may yet take some time.

Under the current Regulations, anyone who is taking up or resuming permanent residence in the UK is entitled to free National Health Service

Once you are living here permanently(Which I am perfectly entitled to do)you will become ordinarily resident and the Regulations will cease to apply to you. Your spouse, civil partner and child will also be considered ordinarily resident if they are living permanently in the UK with you and have the right to do so. If they are not living permanently in the UK then the Regulations will apply and in order to be entitled to free hospital treatment they will have to meet one of the categories of exemption in their own right.



Seems pretty clear to me but your mileage may vary!!.

Cheers,

Fred.
