Moving from NHS England to Scotland

Hi

my mum currently lives in London and I’m in Scotland, currently waiting on a biopsy on NHS England.  If a positive diagnosis is received I would need her to move in with me in Scotland, but I’m worried will this slow down her treatment?

anyone know how I would even go about this.

any advice would be much appreciated

    It’s complicated. 
    My son is English but lived in Scotland in a special needs residential school for a while - he could access primary care and Emergency Care but nothing else.
    We had to drive him back to his home town for any secondary, learning disability or mental health services. 

    All I’m saying is assume nothing. If her official place of residence changes, things might be less complicated.

    Good luck!
