After viewing the tv series about Gibraltar, I was wondering if, as a UK citizen, do I need medical insurance? For example, I had a accident and broke a bone would my hospital treatment be NHS funded?

I have been to Gib several times for short breaks and have always been informed by the travel agent that insurance in necessary.

I have just found this.

Non-EEA country-by-country guide - Healthcare abroad - NHS Choices (http://www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/Healthcareabroad/countryguide/NonEEAcountries/Pages/Non-EEAcountries.aspx)

So it seems that you will be covered and that i was given incorrect info.

I have had treatment in Gib, all you need is a UK Passport and they will ask for your NI number. No issue really.
