The only time I can remember any paperwork with the NHS is when my wife had a climbing accident in Glencoe and was taken by RAF helicopter to the hospital in Fort William - after a few days she was feeling OK so she wanted to sign herself out over the protests of the medical staff - so they had her sign something to prove that she was leaving, not them asking her to go (they really wanted her to stay for a few more days).
The charming nurse's parting words were "Come back to Fort William, but don't come back here" :-)
