New fish is it sick.

Hard to tell from the pictures, do you mean white spots or it has patches? Sometimes they can take a while to colour up when they are bought as moving can be stressful. If you can get some pictures once she's in the tank someone may be able to give you a better idea.
The white patch on the top could be an illness, or the betta is changing colors. It is normal for some betta to change colors, so I would be cautious.
Does the patch look like a fungus, or do the scales look normal?

Thanks for the reply. Maybe not white patch but it had a discoloured patch above its head. I wouldn't say it looks fluffy or anything like that
It could be a bruise where a net or other object struck it. I used an antibiotic to treat a bruise on a Cory that healed fast. Since you live in the UK, I would try a methylene blue bath for 30 minutes for starters.
