Funded. Nhs is free at the point of use for everyone with right to live & work in the Uk
So sorry to hear that and hope you’re recovering well. It’s funded by the NHS so please don’t worry about some massive bill coming your way. X
Everything is funded by the NHS if you went to a public hospital. Although, because I'm scottish and live in England, I've had a bill twice for hospital procedures, I had to just email them a copy of my ID for them to verify I'm a British citizen. And to be totally honest, I would have gladly paid the, very small, price, for birthing my baby, they bill was like £1300 or something.
Funded by the nhs. Sometimes they have to send cases to private hospitals but they fund the bill
