My wife is voluntarily surrendering her licence on medical grounds - will her insurance remain valid?

I am named driver on my wife's motor policy. She has to voluntarily surrender her licence on medical grounds. Will her insurance and my named driver status remain valid pending her medical situation being corrected and her licence being returned?
