Not unless they are resident in the UK.
However, if they are visiting and fall ill unexpectedly, then they can receive treatment for free. (As can all EU citizens.) |

If they are visiting I would expect so - that European Medical Health Card thing means you can get urgent medical treatment free anywhere in EU ( I think the public health service of the country of the patient reimburses the public health service of the country that provided the treatment).
If not necessary medically then no. I expect this is the case rather than been certain, |

Yes, wallflower but as I said, only if it is unexpected.
If you are resident in Ireland, you can't travel to the UK to get an existing condition treated unless you pay. |

A National health service is a fine idea, perhaps we can get back to having one soon.

I know that in Greece we ALWAYS have to pay a fee to see a doctor at any clinic, we never get this refunded and if it is possible to get it back it would involve effort. No Greek is asked for a penny when seeing a doctor here. I suspect this discrepancy is the same with every other country in the world.
