Hello My wife and I are currently planning our retirement close to Estepona. As a diabetic in the UK I am fortunate to receive my prescribed medicine (Insulin and associated tablets) without cost. I am a pensioner and will be applying for my S1 document from NHS however I have not been able to establish if prescriptions are also FOC in Spain. Any information or links would be appreciated

Very helpful member
Your S1 and residency should give you the same rights as Spanish once you are registered with the health authorities.
. 'Royal Decree-Law of 2019, anyone with an income greater than €18,000 a year should now pay half the cost of the medication. Those who make less than €18,000 will pay up to 40% and pensioners making less than this amount will need to pay 10%, with a maximum monthly payment of €8'
