Summary

Professor Tamara Hervey, University of Sheffield, gave a lunchtime seminar entitled "Patients' Rights Post-Brexit" on Wednesday 30 October 2019 at the Faculty of Law as a guest of CELS (the Centre for European Legal Studies). The support of the ESRC’s Health Governance After Brexit grant ES/S00730X/1 and The University of Sheffield’s SURE programme is gratefully acknowledged. While the UK is a member of the European Union (EU), people who are entitled to NHS treatment in the UK are entitled to access state healthcare when travelling abroad as temporary visitors. In practice, this right is accessed through the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). EHIC entitlements include the right to state-provided dialysis treatment when abroad. When the UK leaves the EU, this will change. Patients’ legal entitlements will differ depending on what kind of Brexit occurs. This paper will analyse the new post-Brexit legal landscape, and will focus on particularly vulnerable patient groups. For more information see the CELS website at http://www.cels.law.cam.ac.uk/

0:00.0	My name is John Bell and I'm chairing this session.
0:07.0	It's my very great pleasure to welcome Professor Tamara Harvey, who's known in the field of

0:26.1	law which is what you're going to be talking about. I was reminiscing a bit beforehand that
0:32.1	I'm well aware of the problems of this area in my very younger days needed to have recourse to
0:41.5	dentists in Germany just as we'd entered the European Union so it's a topic of very
0:50.6	practical interest and the presentation we're going to get is actually very much rooted
0:58.0	in practice and so I think this will be a very very interesting aspect because it's part of the area of
1:08.0	Brexit that isn't really talked about not and certainly that has been worrying
1:13.6	the very large number of people, particularly those who are retired in the Indian State.
1:19.6	And who are dreading the thought of having to come back.
1:24.6	So tomorrow is going to talk for about 20 minutes and hopefully we will then have an opportunity
1:31.2	for conversation and discussion.
1:33.9	So tomorrow.
1:34.6	Thank you very much.
1:35.9	And thank you for the invitation.
1:37.3	It's lovely to be here.
1:39.9	I was thinking what to talk about and I came up with this.
1:45.5	So this is...
1:49.3	Here we go.
1:50.9	I have to start with this slide because I have to start all of my presentations by saying health matters in the Brexit debate.
1:58.0	And here is one of the reasons that health matters in the Brexit debate.
