Yes ,I agree that it would be better for the Op just to sort out some decent vehicle insurance & not worry too much about the rest.

There's lots of info on it online, worth noting the rules for hospital and GP care are different and that there is an important distinction between conditions arising whilst in the UK (on current visit) requiring immediate treatment (may be covered even if not currently resident) and long standing health issues (probably won't be)

It's even in the GP legal regulations that patients must be removed from the list http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2004/291/schedule/6/paragraph/25/made

You'll not be entitled to NHS care (including your repeat prescription) doing that either, you have to be 'normally resident' in the UK

I asked about this at my local health centre this week. The practice manager said not to worry about it and also that in any case they wouldn't even know if I was away for many months at a time or even a year or two, especially as I haven't needed to see a doc since I retired at 60, 11 years ago.
