Depends if people with UK Passports and no right of abode are allowed an
ID card [1]. And ex-pats aren't entitled to any more NHS treatment than
a foreign tourist would be, I think - although all of the above might
have an EHIC (nee e111) card that gives some limited treatment.
[1] Later. The Border Agency has the following things as proof of right
of abode:
# a UK passport or an ID Card issued under the Identity Cards Act 2006
describing them as a British citizen; or
# a UK passport or an ID Card issued under the Identity Cards Act 2006
describing them as a British subject with the right of abode in the UK
So it seems likely there *is* a class of people *with* and ID card, but
no right of abode ie:
* .... an ID Card issued under the Identity Cards Act 2006 describing
them as a British subject AND NOT with the right of abode in the UK
