question

Hi dawndarren, and welcome to the Forum.

As you appear to be enquiring over all 3 services, I.e. Doctor (G.P. ) ? , Hospital and Dentist, can you give a little more detail as to the reason for needing the information. 

If it is possible to do that, in General terms, then more feedback may  be possible.

Hope you are well ,Take care !

hello, we are english, we are looking at houses at moment to relocate to spain.we are a family of 8 with childern with medical needs. I was just wondering was there local hospital, docters and dentists in this area or would you have to travel to find one. thanks

hello, no problem. we are looking at relocating and as a mum we have regurly dentist check ups, two docter have health issues so that was reason why a close docter and hospital incase we need them thanks

All dentists are private and the closer you live to ex-pat areas the more likely you will be to find an English speaking one.
It would help to know how you will be accessing the health system here. If you are in receipt of an exportable benefit and therefore entitled to an S1 from DWP you will be able to use the local Centro de Salud, if not, if you are employed your employer will make the contributions  and if you will be self-employed you will have to pay your own contributions. In most scenarios prescriptions will not be free.
If you don't qualify for state healthcare you will need private medical insurance to get Residency and your insurer will dictate where you can be treated.
As English is not widely spoken away from ex-pat areas you may well need to take an interpreter at your own expense, especially in hospitals.
Get your medical records from your GP before you move and especially for those with ongoing conditions it would be best to get them translated.

 In my own experience everything happens a lot quicker here, getting GP appointments, being referred for tests and procedures etc and I have been very impressed so far. Even though I am still entitled to use the UK NHS I would rather be treated here.
