British health officials are concerned that UK citizens are not
taking E111 forms with them when they jump on a plane to EU
countries.  Form E111 covers medical treatment at public
health centres at the 25 EU countries, plus Switzerland. The
forms are currently being replaced by European Health Insurance
Cards – the same system under a different name, with neater
credit card-sized identification. The Department of Health
website (www.dh.gov.uk) has
information on the changeover, and how to apply for the new
cards.
