Hi Jadela,
I believe that you previously said your husband has reached UK State retirement age, but you haven't? In which case, he needs to apply to NHS Business Services Authority for a form S1, which enables him to transfer his healthcare from the UK to Spain. As his spouse, you can also receive State healthcare in Spain, as his dependant. When you reach State retirement age, you must apply for your own S1. The email below from NHS BSA describes how to apply.
The details of your nearest health centre are:

Dear ,
Thank you for your email.
I would like to sincerely apologise for any delay you have experienced, Overseas Healthcare Services has recently transitioned from the Department for Work and Pensions to the NHS Business Services Authority. Unfortunately, this has caused some delays in responding to customer queries whilst we have finalised this transition. I sincerely apologise that we have not answered your particular enquiry sooner.
Thanks for your email.
To process your application for an S1 we need further information. Please provide the following details about the individual applying for an S1:
Please also answer the following questions:
·What country are you/is the applicant/and or dependant moving to?
·When are you/is the applicant/and or dependant moving?
·Are you/Is the applicant being paid a UK State Pension, or will you/they be within the next four weeks?
·If so, when did you/the applicant start to be paid your/their UK State Pension, or when will it start to be paid?
·Are you/Is the applicant being paid a state pension from the country you/they are moving to?
·Are you/Is the applicant being paid a state pension from any other EU/EEA country or Switzerland?
·If so, which countries are paying you/the applicant a state pension?
·Do you/Does the applicant/and or dependant have an address in the country they are moving to?
·If so, what is this address?
An application for an S1 can only be made up to four weeks before the person has moved to another country, or once the main applicant has moved abroad. In addition, an application can only be made by those already in receipt of a UK State Pension or those due to start receiving their UK State Pension within the next four weeks.

Hi Jade,
When your husband has his S1, he'll need to take it to the INSS (social security) in Torrevieja, where they'll issue him with a letter to take to your health centre and register with a doctor. With Covid-19 restrictions, I don't know whether you can just turn up at the INSS, or whether you have to make an appointment first. Hopefully, someone who has done this recently will be able to advise.
Kind regards,
Kim
