[QUOTE="Old McDonald, post: 6583588, member: 47276"] Absolutely spot on. See below. You should know the answer to this. It really is quite simple. Ask - in France. Yesterday my wife and I each received a letter from the NHS Business Services Authority regarding Brexit possibilities and what will happen. The letters state categorically that the UK is leaving the EU on 31 October. Seems the NHS knows something the rest of us do not. I can only speak for being resident in Portugal, but since Portugal is part of the EU then [B]obviously [/B]the rules are the same throughout. That is one of the fundamental principles of the EU is it not? My wife and I are both registered with the Portuguese authorities as being entitled to live here. Nothing to do with Brexit, the UK or anybody else, we are acceptable residents of the country without any conditions. Also entitled to Portuguese healthcare. I have recently undergone a heart valve replacement and some artery bypasses under the Portuguese system and was very impressed with their ability and standard of care. Frankly, I felt it left Raigmore very much down the line havng twice been an inpatient. We have the paperwork from the Portuguese authorities and believe what it says. The letter from NHS goes on to assure us of our UK pension entitlements and (and I find this is unfair on UK taxpayers) if we visit England, Scotland or Wales we are entitled to free NHS care. I have heard of people who abuse this and return to the UK specifically to take advantage of it. I think those resident in and entitled to another country's healthcare should have any NHS treatment charged to that country. Additionally, and as expected, if we move back to the UK (including NI this time) on a permanent basis we areentitled to free NHS care. So, yet another project fear myth. [/QUOTE]
