The UK government’s decision to cancel the agreement means that, from April, Island residents will have to pay for non-emergency treatment when they visit the UK or get insurance.
Earlier this week, the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly called for that move to be put on hold and for discussions between all devolved governments.
However, Steve Rodan says while the support is encouraging, it’s now at the 11th hour.
