If you are a posted/frontier worker paying your NI in the UK you can apply for the S1 form so retirement is not the only requirement, this info is on the NHS and gov.uk website.

Yes this is what I was told at Torrevieja, I did telephone relevent dept. In Britain, and was told because I am resident in Spain, I could not have one, as they were only supplied to holiday makers or short term stayers. I should register at the Salud for free health care, I am older but I think the rule is the same. More brick walls. Good luck.
