Residents of Guernsey, Alderney, Herm and Jethou, who are registered with Social Security, are entitled to specialist medical treatment provided through the Medical Specialist Group. Social Security also operates a long-term care scheme. If you are of pension age, you do not have to pay social insurance contributions but you do have to pay health insurance and long-term care contributions towards the scheme. These contributions are payable by people of pension age and are based on assessable income.
