hi all im stewart, returned, looking for advice

Sorry if it's confusing Stewart, I copied the advice from the Citizen's advice bureau website. As I see it from this advice, it appears that you have to be living in the UK for a continuous 12 months before you seek treatment to qualify for free NHS treatment. If you leave for periods of longer than 3 months, it appears that you may not qualify.

So you pay into the system for 40 years hardly if ever use it, take a three month break and you're cast to the wolves great system we have in the UK

Thank god the pension system doesn't work like that (yet).
