NHS is considered public fund?

This might sound silly, but actually don't know if NHS access is considered public funds or not?

Since my visa state "no access to public funds", does it mean I shouldn't have consulted a GP?

NHS is not public funds. You pay for your NHS services with your NI contributions.
Goodluck.
