Post by Somudro » Thu Aug 09, 2012 9:41 am

Q1: Is GP service a public fund.

Q2:Some place Like, Wales and Northern Ireland, medicine is free. Is this a public fund?

No, neither are public funds.

Please see the following link for details on what is considered to be a public fund under the immigration rules:

This post would be better placed, under the claiming benefits forum.

Still, I am confused. Someone said, free medicine is a public fund. Is this true?

I am going to apply for ILR next January.

Is this the right paragraph:

"public funds" means


(a) housing under Part VI or VII of the Housing Act 1996 and under Part II of the Housing Act 1985, Part I or II of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1987, Part II of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1981 or Part II of the Housing (Northern Ireland) Order 1988;

(b) attendance allowance, severe disablement allowance, carer's allowance and disability living allowance under Part III of the Social Security Contribution and Benefits Act 1992;, income support, council tax benefit and housing benefit under Part VII of that Act; a social fund payment under Part VIII of that Act; child benefit under Part IX of that Act; income based jobseeker's allowance under the Jobseekers Act 1995, income related allowance under Part 1 of the Welfare Reform Act 2007 (employment and support allowance) state pension credit under the State Pension Credit Act 2002; or child tax credit and working tax credit under Part 1 of the Tax Credits Act 2002.

(c) attendance allowance, severe disablement allowance, carer's allowance and disability living allowance under Part III of the Social Security Contribution and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992;, income support, council tax benefit and, housing benefit under Part VII of that Act; a social fund payment under Part VIII of that Act; child benefit under Part IX of that Act; income based jobseeker's allowance under the Jobseekers (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 or income related allowance under Part 1 of the Welfare Reform Act (Northern Ireland) 2007.



If I am right, I could not find any GP related information here. It neither says "Yes" nor "No".

So, in context of immigration rules, what does absence (no mention) of something mean?

It means it's not a Public Fund.
