'How to get state healthcare when you’re on holiday or travelling to Spain'
You can use a UK prescription to get medicines, including special food required for medical reasons, in Spain.
Prescription medicines are not free in Spain. With an EHIC or GHIC you get a reduced rate, but you’ll still pay:
- 50% of the prescription price
- 10% of the prescription price if you have a UK State Pension ‒ you
may need to show proof that you’re a pensioner to pay this rate
These prescription charges are non-refundable.
