They might if she can't pay in advance

That's why you need to look at the gov.uk link I gave above, to see if she is allowed to use the NHS for free/or claim the NHS costs from her EEA country and get them to pay the NHS/or use her travel health insurance, if they will cover her.

Visitor visa - a non-EEA citizen?
Why isn't she claiming on her travel health insurance?
If it's non-urgent treatment and the NHS Trust think their travel health insurance won't be enough to cover all their bills, they will have to pay the NHS in advance and sort out a partial refund with their insurers afterwards: or they can travel home for non-urgent treatment. Urgent treatment is still billed but the NHS can't wait for payment in advance.
If she has coronanvirus, there is limited treatment the UK will give for free.
There can also be no charge for the treatment of COVID-19, if the diagnostic test is positive or if COVID-19 is otherwise diagnosed by a clinician. This includes treatment of children who develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome that is being treated as suspected COVID-19.
No charge can apply to any treatment provided for suspected COVID-19 up to the point that it is negatively diagnosed.
...
patients that are known to be undergoing testing and treatment for COVID-19 only are not subject to Home Office status checks

Not sure, others might know for the EUSS.

However NHS debt that your mother and you owe for her treatment, will have to be paid. There is post on here somewhere where they were taken to court by the NHS for payment of the medical bills of their father.
