Only this week, we have been assured by the Cypriot Government that the status quo will remain, Brexit it or no Brexit ! It appears that the contribution is coming from everyone with the exception of a few people. All on the MOH site. I assume if you wish to have private insurance, that will be up to you? It doesn't make it clear, in fact, it doesn't mention it at all, if the contributions are from gross income, or after the tax allowance. It does give a capped rate though, for instance of €10 for blood tests and a maximum amount you will be expected to pay over any one year! Not sure how they intend to keep track of that! Hopefully it will all become clearer as time moves on.

My daughter was telling me that we (and that means you Louise ;-) ) should all register with a GP before June or July. The GPs can be any who have signed up for the new NHS and could be located at either the General or at their own clinics or even at the private hospitals. Annual charges will be 3% of earnings. My daughtér and two granddaughters will be registéred under her Cypriot husbands name and my wife can register me and the daughter under her name as she has Cypriot citizenship.
Still a lot of open ends at the moment.
