We had a letter to say (quote) 'If you, or any of your dependents, come back to the UK on a visit you will only be entitled to NHS medical treatment if you fall ill or have an accident during the visit'. This letter came with the E121.

So the people you know are on the fiddle, yes?

Probably, but they are 'people I know' not friends. It really p@**$s me off to be honest and I have said so many times. Also I get really cross when those who are not entitled to NHS care in the Uk, as they've lived in Spain so many years, say 'Well I paid in all my life but I can't go back for treatment'.

Yes, I think I agree with you.
