The online View and Prove service therefore offers this as an option, should users wish to share their status for this purpose. It is entirely optional.</p><p> </p><p>EEA and Swiss citizens continue to be able to use their passport or national identity card to evidence their right to access services and this will not change until 30 June 2021.</p><p> </p><p>From 2021, when the new immigration system is introduced, EEA or Swiss patients will be required to demonstrate they are ordinarily resident in the UK, as is already presently the case for non-EEA nationals who are not the family member of an EEA citizen. They can do this by relying on the status they have been granted under the Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>EEA nationals who do not have protected rights will be bound by the new global immigration system.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 29/06/2020 15:09:01 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
