Most British people go abroad in holiday, to visit family, or on short business trips. People
are advising to find out how to get urgent treatment before leaving the UK. They have to
get a form which explains that they should do if they fall ill or have an accident, and what
arrangements exist in each country with medical treatment. The regulations are fairly
simple but whether people do not have this information, they may find that private
medical care is extreme expensive. It is not unusual for people to discover that they do
not have money enough with them to pay the total costs and in such circumstances an
already difficulty situation becomes even more complicated.
