Thanks Mike for the interesting article.

My wife has a monthly blood test for heart problems  and we get the results the same day (France).  Are there any forum members who have regular blood tests In Spain, if so what is the waiting time for the results. I am intersted in moving to Murcia,

I believe there is a new Clinic on Camposol. If anyone has experience of this clinic I would be most grateful for a reply.

That situation would be a worry to my wife and I. We are at present living in France where we have found the health service to be second to none. We are considering a move to Spain  (warmer) . I was under the immpression that the health care in Spain was almost up to the level of France.

If my wife has a blood test before 10am we can pick the results up the same day. Should there be any problems the Clinic would contact the Doctor, who in turn would contact my wife. A situation arose a couple of years ago after a blood test, by late afternoon my wife was in Hospital. Through medication and regular tests she is now enjoying life. 

If we move south to the Murcia region could we expect anything similar to the above, or should we stay north of the Spanish border.

Intersting post, Are the Spanish Taxes based on joint , or individual incomes. My wife and I (now retired) were always taxed seperately when working in the UK.
