MAG are pleased to say that the UK government has extended the reciprocal health agreement with IOM. Back in the spring, MAG and Riders Are Voters (RAV) highlighted the situation (http://w...man) that the UK gov intended to end the reciprocal healthcare link at the start of April, but the good news is that UK residents will now continue to receive free healthcare while visiting Isle of Man. Because of the public outcry and the campaign to save the agreement, which included Early Day Motion 708,  a petition and an awful lot of hard work, the agreement was first extended by 6 months and now a new one has been signed. The new agreement which will come into place on 1st October sees the continuation of the reciprocal healthcare pact, which allows UK residents free treatment while visiting the Island and vice-versa. IoM Chief Minister Tony Brown said: "The signing of a new Reciprocal Healthcare Agreement between the Isle of Man and the UK is very welcome news for the people of the island and for visitors to our shores" This is the result of concerted campaigning and proof yet again that change can be achieved if positive action is taken. Repatriation is not covered by this agreement though, so the IOM Department of Health strongly recommends visitors to the Isle of Man should make sure that they have insurance.
