<p>Everyone living in the European Union is strongly encouraged to think about their
own healthcare needs and circumstances and consider the steps they need to take to
be assured of continuing healthcare coverage.</p><p>I laid a Written Ministerial Statement
(<a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-09-26/HCWS1832/"
target="_blank">HCWS1832</a>) on 26 September 2019, which sets out the current status
of arrangements with Member States and outlines in detail the support which the UK
Government will provide should the United Kingdom leave the EU without a deal.</p><p>The
Government has produced detailed advice for each country which can be accessed at
the following link:</p><p><a href="http://www.gov.uk/uk-nationals-living-eu" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/uk-nationals-living-eu</a></p><p>We
will provide more information as the situation develops so people are clear on what
they will need in each country. People can also sign up to email alerts to check these
country guides regularly as the situation may change as the UK gets closer to leaving
the EU.</p><p>The NHS Business Services Authority has sent a letter to S1 holders
living in EU and European Free Trade Association Member States, encouraging individuals
to consider their circumstances and options and to take the necessary steps to ensure
they have appropriate coverage in place. A copy of the letter is available at the
following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/government-takes-steps-to-protect-healthcare-access-for-uk-nationals-living-in-the-eu-after-31-october"
