Being a full time resident here in Italy, we are having a month or so on holiday in another EU country (not in the UK, our country of origin). Does anybody know what 'travel' related health cover are we 'entitled' to ?

Unfortunately, the 'interpretation' of pretty much everything in Italy is here on this mag...................take it all as advice and check things out for yourself................there is SO MUCH help here, but it is often down to Interpretation !! S
sebastiano................I agree with regards to the response (or lack of it)...........I think it would be common courtesy to show appreciation.......... Having said that................I'm sorry if I have not shown my own appreciation over the years! S
