Healthcare

Jersey is not part of the United Kingdom, and so is not covered by the National Health Service. There is a Reciprocal Health Agreement with the United Kingdom, agreed in 2011.[3] It does not cover pre-existing or non-urgent conditions.[4]

GP and dental services are not free of charge. Emergency treatment given in the Emergency Department is free of charge.
