Health and Childcare Support (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2019
Public bill · Government · Presented
It would set up a special arrangement so that eligible people living in Northern Ireland could be reimbursed for necessary medical treatment costs they incur while temporarily in another EU country if there is a no-deal Brexit. It would also update childcare support rules so British citizens can apply for the National Childcare Scheme on the same basis as Irish citizens. The main point is to protect access to health support after Brexit and to keep childcare eligibility aligned with the Common Travel Area.
