Chronic Illnesses: Travel Insurance
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Post-implementation review of the travel insurance signposting rules for consumers with medical conditions, published by the Financial Conduct Authority on 11 April 2024, what progress the Authority has made on implementation of the next steps.
Answered by Tulip Siddiq
The Government is determined that insurers treat customers fairly and they are required to do so under Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules.
Following its post-implementation review of its travel insurance signposting rules, the FCA set out a number of actions it would be taking to continue to improve access to travel insurance for customers with pre-exiting medical conditions.
The FCA, as the independent regulator for financial services, will provide updates on its next steps in due course.
