My husband and I are moving to La Marina permanently in March. We both have a monthly repeat prescription in the UK, how will we go about getting these medications once we move?

A lot of medication on prescription in U.K. is available over the counter in Spain.

You will have to sign up for health care here anyway,that may take a while,you will be allocated a doctor or alternatively there is a private doctor on the urb.

I suggest you read the other posts on this topic. If you're in receipt of UK state retirement pension, you can transfer your health cover out here.
