Possible questions
- According to the Government's assessments, which groups (for instance people with disabilities, long-term conditions, children, etc.) stand to be most affected by any changes to existing reciprocal healthcare arrangements? How does the Government plan to mitigate any potentially negative consequences for such groups of the post-Brexit arrangements?
- What would be the key priorities for a transitional agreement covering reciprocal healthcare arrangements?
- What incentive does the UK have to maintain existing reciprocal healthcare arrangements with the EU, and the EU with the UK?
