We believe Member States have responsibilities and a duty of care towards UK nationals and are urging the EU and all its Member States to make the same commitment to protect the rights of UK nationals in the EU.</p><p> </p><p>The Healthcare (International Arrangements) Bill will give the Government the power to fund and arrange payments for healthcare for UK nationals (or former residents) outside of the UK, as well as to share the necessary data in relation to this.</p><p> </p><p>This will enable the Government to work to ensure reciprocal healthcare arrangements continue when we leave the EU, whether through arrangements with the EU as a whole or, individual arrangements with EU Member States.</p><p> </p><p>The UK and Irish Governments have both set out their firm intention to maintain current reciprocal access to local health services under the Common Travel Area framework, and work on this is at an advanced stage.</p><p> </p><p>We have informally approached other Member States and are prioritising those that are the major pensioner, worker and tourist destinations. We will shortly be writing to all EU Member States, along with the EU Commission, formally outlining our generous offer on reciprocal healthcare. This will be subject to ongoing discussions.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 21/01/2019 17:39:22 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>On 28 November 2018, the government published a robust assessment of how exiting the EU may affect the UK economy in the long-run, detailing the effects on GDP, GDP per capita, exports and imports across four scenarios. This analysis is available on gov.uk.</p><p> </p><p>While the analysis does not seek to assess the effect of non-tariff barriers on consumer prices specifically, the lower GDP in the modelled no deal scenario compared to today's arrangements reflects the combined impact of trade frictions, including non-tariff barriers, on households' purchasing power as well as on firms' gross output and their productivity. The White Paper scenario would deliver significantly higher economic output compared to no deal.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 21/01/2019 16:22:55 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
