Slavery is an illegal act. It exists - but not in a BDSM view in the world as it exists today. You cannot claim or make anyone else your 'slave' and 'import them'. Slavery is a human rights violation.
That said, people feel they are slaves. But the law does not recognise them as slaves in the same way and nor will any documentation stand up in court. You will not be legally responsible for anything of this other person and in fact, if claim they are your slave, are more than likely to be arrested. Cold, hard fact.
That said(again) any person in the UK without legal visas are not entitled to NHS based healthcare. They may be entitled to very basic healthcare, but if that occured, they would have to admit to being illegally settled and will probably be deported unless claiming asylym. You can take out private medical insurance for this person, but they will have to undergo medical checks to gain the full cover, which they will need if your going to be that responsible for them. They will not be entitled for any benefits if they are here illegally. You are also placing yourselves in a tricky position legally. A person can apply for a work visa if they have employment offered - whether they gain it or not is up to authorities.
I am not entirely sure why you are specific about importing a person for slavery purposes. To me, it sets off alarm bells. Have You looked on IC(Informed Consent)? Attending groups and local munches also is a good way of finding potential choices. Your profile says you are inexperienced. I would advise not jumping into such a commitment until you have alot more experience and this can be gained in time, with patience and getting a good network of friends from groups. Admitting to inexpereince is a positive step, but I would suggest it is unlikely you will attract people who would be positive to your growth. Just IMO.
Peace and Rapture
