Planned Healthcare in Europe for Lothian residents
The S2 information leaflet explains how you can access planned healthcare in European countries under the S2 scheme, if you normally live in Lothian (Edinburgh, West Lothian, Midlothian and East Lothian council areas). Not everyone is eligible for the S2 scheme and prior authorisation is always required. If you don’t follow the correct process you may have to pay for the costs of your healthcare yourself. Changes have occurred since the UK’s exit from the EU on 31st December 2020. The best way to know if you are eligible is to contact the NHS Lothian Safe Haven Office on 0131 465 5448 or 07930 118919 or email loth.safehaven@nhs.scot
Please note NHS Lothian information governance rules do not permit staff to discuss clinical details by email to non-nhs email addresses. You are welcome to email Safe Haven Office, but an email reply to you can only contain administrative information.
