There will be many regular visitors to the
Irish Sea Shipping web site who either reside in the UK and visit
the Isle of Man or are Isle of Man residents who visit the UK.
Are you aware that in 2010 the reciprocal
health care agreement between the UK & Isle of Man Governments will
end?
This will mean that UK visitors to the Isle of
Man, and Isle of Man visitors to the UK will be liable to
health treatment charges should they have an accident or fall ill.
This change effects both UK & Isle of Man
residents.
The change has resulted from a UK Government
decision to withdraw from the reciprocal health care agreement.
This is clearly against the best interests of
all the parties involved, and it is desired that the reciprocal
agreement is continued, for the mutual benefit of all those on
business, holiday, education or any other reason.
Alex McCormack, a member of the Irish Sea
Ships Yahoo Group has set up a petition against this change and it
deserves support for all those living in both the UK & Isle of Man
