24 September 2019 - The government has announced 'no deal' contingency plans designed to protect healthcare access for UK nationals living in the European Union for a short time after Brexit.

People already living in the EU who have their healthcare funded by the UK, including pensioners and students, will have their healthcare costs covered for six months should the country leave under a 'no deal' scenario.

The government has also committed to covering the costs of UK nationals in the EU who are in the middle of treatment when the UK leaves the EU, for up to a year, and ensure that people currently insured by the UK living in the EU can return to use the NHS temporarily in England, Wales and Scotland free of charge.
