<p>The Government is committed to securing a deal with the European Union and is working
in an energetic and determined way to achieve this.</p><p>The United Kingdom Government
has proposed to all Member States that we should maintain existing reciprocal healthcare
arrangements, including the S1 scheme, until 31 December 2020 if the UK leaves the
EU without a deal. These arrangements would safeguard healthcare for the hundreds
of thousands of UK-insured persons who live in Europe.</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, setting out the Department’s progress
on ‘no deal’ reciprocal healthcare arrangements, and updated information has been
published on GOV.UK and NHS.UK on the situation for each Member State, including what
arrangements have been put in place. These pages will be kept updated as further assurances
from Member States are received.</p><p> </p>
