                                                Obviously Brickwork has not needed any medication (good for him/her) since he/she should know that co-payment is now rife. However, I do agree that the service here (in Valencia provinces) is excellent compared with the very sad state of affairs in England.

On the contrary I have had more time in doctors surgeries and hospitals since I arrived in Spain 3 and half years ago, and found it to be amazing, and much cleaner than UK, also not paid a penny up until the percentage charge for prescriptions came in to force

Quite! I took you earlier comment that nothing had been paid as inclusive of recent changes! 
I can now agree with you totally (on this subject at least)

On the contrary I have had more time in doctors surgeries and hospitals  since I arrived in Spain 3 and half years ago, and found it to be  amazing, and much cleaner than UK, also not paid a penny up until the  percentage charge for prescriptions came in to force 
  
I don't know how many times this needs to said by various posters, before some understand,  but Brickwork, you pay (i.e. the NHS) around £3,000 p.a. for the 'free service.'

Obviously, of course I've paid in to the UK over a full time working taxpayer until I was 65. So NHS can pay Spain, out of my contributions, but now its free hereon in ! 
A bit like a club membership one off payment member for life, so available whenever and wherever in the EU. 
Where have I said I hadn't.  
God this is getting boring now!!

                                                Brick, you have now sioad several times :   (I have )   also not paid a penny (for the health treatment) 
  
So the treatment you get is not free, The NHS (UK tax payers like me)  pay for it

Copy of a recent post of mine please note the words "in Spain" 
  
  
On the contrary I have had more time in doctors surgeries and hospitals since I arrived in Spain 3 and half years ago, and found it to be amazing, and much cleaner than UK, also not paid a penny up until the percentage charge for prescriptions came in to force 
** EDITED - inciting** 
  
I now have far less time than you seem to, I bet you still have a notepad and pencil and write down things which maybe used in evidence?? 
  
Please read properly before wasting yours and my time
