    I've been researching all sorts about moving to Wales, and now that I finally have my settlement visa, I can make it all happen! I'm just a little bit confused about Health Care, specifically the NHS in Wales. From what I've been told, being married to a Welshman/British Citizen entitles me to his rights, so I would get free health care treatment and prescriptions till I'm 25, by which time that number might change.

    But I cannot seem to find any hard copy proof of this, and it would be very helpful to me, as I am a type one diabetic and rely heavily on multiple daily injections.

    This is the only website I've found that has somewhat answered my question, and even then, I'm still confused.

    http://www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance/International/OverseasVisitors/...

    It states, that because I'm coming to take up permenant residency in the UK, I'll be exempt from hospital treatment and things in ENGLAND. I'm going to be in Wales, and I've been told that I might want to try n find a second opinion on this matter.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer a worried newlywed!!! :)
