I understand that the regulations may have changed in the initial cost and set up of this but not sure where to get the best advice. IF we were to return on this scheme would we be covered for health matters for example. IF we did not work, even part time I assume that we may need private health insurance, but not sure on this point

Many thanks. Doug
