Speaking in the States yesterday, Deputy Anne Pryke said that the reciprocal health agreement, which was scrapped almost two years ago, would be reinstated by April 5.

It will also end a long period of anxiety for older Islanders or those with pre-existing health conditions who have found it difficult to get insurance.
