    These will be being done under the EU Patient Mobility Directive - so could end if the UK leaves the EU. The agreement between the commissioner and provider (referred to in this article) will be the Janet and John agreement that sits on top of those Regulations.

    So, under the EU Patient Mobility Directive, any citizen of one EU Member State can seek treatment in another EU Member, and the home Member State's commissioner must pay for it. So, any one of you could seek treatment in France (or Spain etc) and the NHS must pay for it. You don't even need prior approval. There are exemptions - transplantation (or rather, access to organs) and treatment not offered/recognised by your home member state - so you could not go to France for spa treatment.
