Access to NHS treatment in the UK for British retirees, update

Thanks for the info - good to know ... hopefully I'll never need to use the NHS again :-)

I'm missing something here, why would it have required consent from a French authority in the first place?

A great thank you must go to Jane Williamson for pushing for this.

why on earth would anyone choose to be treated by the 'broken' NHS and left for hours on trolleys in corridors when the level of care available in France is so superior?

Good...after all the taxes were paid to the uk government.

Thanks for info.
