Chief Minister Tony Brown has used today's signing of the reciprocal health agreement to remind islanders that it does not cover getting them back to the island after an accident.

The agreement covers illness and accidents while in the UK but does not extend to repatriation should you need to return for healthcare.

He's advised anyone visiting the UK to still take out travel insurance prior to leaving the island.
