Isle of Man travel insurance

I wondered if your members were aware of the coming proposed change in
healthcare reciprocity between the Isle Of Man and the UK Government?

As of next 01st April, people travelling between the Isle Of Man and the
UK mainland will need travel insurance:  Only Accident and Emergency
treatment will be provided by either side, with any further treatment,
hospital stay, etc, chargeable to the patient.

This is obviously relevant to those of your members that go to the Isle
Of Man for the TT and GP, and particularly those that camp: It's likely
they will find it difficult to obtain travel insurance, since many
insurers require that you stay for at least 2 days and that you stay in
a hotel.

Would you be interested in passing on the following link to your members
so that they can petition our Government against this move?

Many thanks for your kind attention,
