To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will take steps to remind British visitors to (a) France, and (b) other European Community countries that the validity of form E111, providing health care cover, is limited in individual European Community countries even though the form shows an unlimited validity so far as the United Kingdom is concerned.

Forms E111 issued by the United Kingdom have unlimited validity provided the holder continues to be ordinarily resident here. Guidance on the residence condition will be included in the Department's information leaflet when it is next revised.
