I understand my colleague the Minister for Social Protection also been issued with this question and will address the issue regarding social welfare, which falls under his remit.

Entitlement to healthcare services for people who are resident in a member State other that the State that is responsible for the cost of their healthcare is established through the exchange of one of the relevant E Forms, which are used by all countries and covered under Regulation (EC) 883/04.

The person in question should contact the Health Service Executive’s Overseas Section to enquire as to her entitlement of the relevant E Form, under Regulation (EC) 883/04.
