Heathcare

How much does it cost to pay into the GIB system and is it any good ?

Healthcare is part of the Social Security payment when employed and is earnings related.

See :- https://www.gibraltar.gov.gi/taxation/1 … -insurance

For people not intending to take up employment then private healthcare would be required

Thank you Its about £30 a week if you earn a reasonable amount although it doesnt say whether it covers your wife and children I shall phone them.

Is it any good or like the UK do you require BUPA nowadays ?

It covers all your family, and yes it's good.

The hospital is fairly new and comprehensive.

However in the event of problems they cannot handle patients are sent to UK or Spain at the Governments expense.

Hi I am thinking of retiring to Gibralter with my wife in the near future, but would not be in receipt of my state pension, would I need to purchase private cover and how much would this cost for both of us,
I would be grateful foe any up to date info
