I noticed that the EHIC card inserted into it has just expired. Looking at 
other forums it appears that many other cards are expiring over the next 
few months. Apparently, they varied the validity period of the first batch 
issued to spread the renewal load. New ones will be valid for 5 years
https://www.ehic.org.uk/ for a new one

I got mine a couple of years back. It's valid until November 2010.
