The Government should negotiate continued UK participation in the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). It is relied upon by many UK citizens to access medical care when abroad within Europe.

More details

For many UK citizens with health conditions this enables them to to take affordable travel insurance excluding their existing medical conditions .

A large number of UK citizen with serious or chronic health conditions find that they are unable to afford travel insurance or indeed are refused cover due to their condition.
