NHS entitlement - recently moved to N.Ireland

    I have recently moved to N.Ireland for the near future from a border county in ROI.

    I have income from the ROI only, none in the UK.

    I've registered with a GP and provided the required proof of residency. I then received a letter from the NHS business division requesting further proof of residency, which I duly provided.

    They have written to me again and are now asking for proof of tax residency with HMRC. This seems unreasonable but my entitlement to publicly funded healthcare will be withdrawn if I don't provide it.

    Has anyone had a similar experience?

    It seems fair to me. Why do you think they’re being unreasonable? If your living in the UK then you’ll be registered for tax there.

    Publicly funded healthcare provision is not a tax issue. As stated, I've provided multiple proofs of residency

    Do you pay income tax in the north?
    (Genuine question)

    No and the NHS do not require this

    Clearly if they are asking you for proof of registration with HMRC then it has some bearing.
    Funding for the NHS is entirely dependent on tax revenue.
