Nope, only certain categories of immigrants are entitled to NHS treatment for free. If she was illegal and in custody, then she'd get NHS treatment as there would be a duty of care from the authorities as custodians.

Really! I guess we should ask for the forms so they can bill us for when our son was born in the UK. Whoops.

Yes you should you naughty naughty boy!
Assuming his mother's immigration status was such that she was liable for costs that is.
My personal view is if you're working here and contributing to the state, then the state should have a duty of care to you.
IE you pay tax and NI, then you should get access to what those contributions are for such as JSA and healthcare.
