Ray's point about PHI does not apply if you are a pensioner as you have stated, obtain your S1 from DWP in Newcastle and you can register with the Spanish Health Service.

Thank you Ray, most helpful. So if I came out end of November so as to start my stay in December till the end of May, I wouldn't have to pay taxes in Spain?

In the meantime you could use your EHIC Card to get emergency treatment.

This is an excerpt I found re NHS care.

Using NHS services

You will not be able to use NHS services for free when visiting the UK if you're living in the EU and the UK government does not currently pay for your healthcare.

You should take out appropriate travel insurance when visiting the UK, as you would when visiting any other country.

You'll be able to use NHS services for free in England, Scotland and Wales when visiting the UK if:

  • you have a UK-issued S1 form or EHIC
  • you're currently eligible for the UK to fund your healthcare access

If you return to the UK permanently and meet the ordinarily resident test, you'll be able to access NHS care without charge.
