ANNEX A: DEFINITIONS
Family member is the entitled person's spouse, registered civil partner and dependent children who are under the age of 16, or under 19 if still in full-time education.
Ordinarily resident is a common law concept interpreted by the House of Lords in 1982 as someone who is living lawfully in the United Kingdom voluntarily and for settled purposes as part of the regular order of their life for the time being, with an identifiable purpose for their residence here which has a sufficient degree of continuity to be properly described as settled. A period of 6 months is seen as a reasonable period of time for a person to remain, lawfully, in Scotland before they can be classed as ordinarily resident.
A temporary resident is anyone who is normally resident outwith the UK and who is residing (lawfully) in Scotland for more than 24 hours and not more than 3 months. Temporary residents are not automatically entitled to exemption from NHS charges on the same basis as someone ordinarily resident in the UK. To qualify for all or some NHS treatment they must meet one of the categories of exemption set out in this guidance; be from a country that has a reciprocal health agreement with the UK; or be receiving a treatment / service that is exempt from charges (see Section 1).
Right of abode means that someone is entirely free from UK Immigration Control. They do not need to get permission from an Immigration Officer to enter the UK and can live and work here without restriction. All British citizens, some Commonwealth citizens and citizens of certain other countries have the right of abode in the UK. People claiming the right of abode must prove it by producing a UK passport or identity card describing a British citizen or a British subject with the right of abode. Alternatively, they may provide a certificate of entitlement to the right of abode that has been issued by the UK Government or on its behalf.
Treatment the need for which arose during the visit means diagnosis of symptoms or signs occurring for the first time after the visitor's arrival in the United Kingdom and any other treatment which, in the opinion of a medical or dental practitioner employed by, or under contract with, an NHS Board, is required promptly for a condition which arose after the visitor's arrival in the UK, or became, or but for treatment would be likely to become, acutely exacerbated after such arrival.
