The Department of Health and Social Care has frequent discussions and regular meetings with the Department for Exiting the European Union to ensure that The Department of Health and Social Care’s EU exit priorities are considered as part of the Government’s overall approach on reciprocal healthcare arrangements and a range of cross-cutting issues.

The Department of Health and Social Care worked closely with the Department for Exiting the European Union to inform the United Kingdom’s paper ‘Safeguarding the position of EU citizens living in the UK and UK nationals living in the EU: summary proposals’, published in June 2017. The Department of Health and Social Care officials, alongside colleagues from the Department for Exiting the European Union, participate in negotiations with the EU.

The Department of Health and Social Care will continue to liaise with the Department for Exiting the European Union on all matters regarding reciprocal healthcare arrangements with the EU.
