Letter to the Editor:- "A
question of health?" "DEAR
Editor, The European Commission provides a very handy multilingual app for
mobile devices which explains the workings of the European Health Insurance Card
(EHIC) including how to access emergency health services and use the card in
each country in which it is valid. Comprehensive information is given about
services in England, but visitors to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are
instead directed (perhaps when they are offline and most need the information)
to Internet websites. Whilst this may lead to welcome NHS savings out with
England, as frustrated foreigners forsake the NHS and go private, does this show
the European Commission's attitude to the Celtic Fringe or is it a failure of
the UK Government to provide the correct information?"
John Hein. Editors
note:- "Sadly, we cannot comment on this at this point as we do not have
any information on the topic, but we would love to hear what our readers think
about it. We will also try and find out more about your question as well."
