Hi, I am a British citizen that has been living in Canada for most of my life. I am considering moving back to the UK (Northern Ireland) with my family. My daughter can get her British citizenship through me so she has the right to legally live in the UK with no visa requirements. My question is the following.
How would she go about getting access to a GP to get her insulin.?
Unfortunately she also has Gastroparesis and requires other meds too.
I've looked at the requirements for registering with a local GP practice, but some of the documentation the practice requires to be accepted seems impossible for her to acquire in order to register.
I think we would need to fill out the HSCR1 form (remember this is Northern Ireland so forms may be different from England) . The form says we need three pieces of information.
1 - Lawfully in NI - Her passport covers this.
2 - Residing in NI - Things listed are driver's license, rates bill, utility bill etc - she would have none of these as she will be living with me
3 - Reason for being in NI - payslip, letter confirming pension or benefit. She doesn't meet any of the listed criteria.
Does anyone one know if these three criteria are an absolute must or are there exceptions?
Like I said she would be considered a british citizen, but wouldn't have access to the required information to apply to the NHS
Thanks for reading
Scott
