My husband and I are planning to move to Gran Canaria in a year or so. I am retired but my husband plans to take early retirement. My husband has to have regular blood checks as he takes warfarin. He would therefore need a prescription every month or so. Is anybody able to tell me what the situation is. Would I need to take out private medical insurance. Many thanks Jacqueline

It seems that from July 2014 you now are not covered and need private cover. I found this on Google so please check up on Google yourself for up to date information.
