What should I expect regarding healthcare and treatment if I return to the UK after living in Thailand for years?

Colin *********************

For health care, better to stay in Thailand. As with many of the comments above, the system in uk has deteriorated massively. No appointment, doctors always on strike. Waiting lists are ridiculous. If coming back you may need to consider private health care. At least in Thailand, despite the procedures making little sense, it works.
