PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Zika Virus (25 January 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, whether the Government issued any guidelines to insurance companies on the effects of Government advice in February 2016 to consult a medical professional before travelling to areas where there were Zika outbreaks.

Asked by:
Dr Rosena Allin-Khan (Labour)

Neither Public Health England nor National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) has issued any guidance specifically to insurance companies on Zika, however it is accepted as standard practice that insurance companies will regularly access and take account of the guidance provided on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and NaTHNaC webpages in relation to Zika virus and other issues affecting United Kingdom travellers.
