To become resident in Spain you need sufficient income and full health cover

At present a uk national鈥榮 state pension and health care covered by an S1 is sufficient.

After Brexit it will be much more difficult.

Hi there. I know after brexit it will make it much harder for brits to receive health care with the s1. What about if I'm an irish passport holder then what health care would i be entitled to get? Thanks.
