I wish to inform the Deputy that the Department of Foreign and Trade is ready to provide consular assistance, as appropriate, to all Irish citizens resident in or visiting Britain. As the Deputy will be aware, Ireland and Britain have reciprocal arrangements on healthcare, however, specific questions on medical care should be directed to the Department of Health.
