blathin: I asked someone about this and was told that any Brits living in the EU now and stay after the exit - then nothing will change for them. They will still get their UK pension, healthcare etc etc. It's only UK citizens who move to the EU after Dec that won't get anything ,they will be on their own in the EU so as to speak....
If your Irish friend is paying mega euros in Spain for her medications, then she'd be paying tera euros for them here in Ireland..Irish health care is expensive. €50-60 just to see your G.P. and if you go with two complaints they will charge you double and the G.P is at the bottom of the charges scale...I know Spain is far cheaper so your friend should be glad they're only paying mega euros....
I do/did a lot of translating for medical and hospital appointments. One great thing for UK pensioners here in the UK was that even though some of the treatments are not available on the NHS because they are deemed "too expensive" including eye surgery to save the eye sight of diabetic patients and home dialysis, here in Spain they are "freely treated" under Spanish Health system, with them which means better quality of life than if they lived in UK … One particular person I know would have become blind had they lived in the UK...If your Irish friend is paying mega euros in Spain for her medications, then she'd be paying tera euros for them here in Ireland..Irish health care is expensive. €50-60 just to see your G.P. and if you go with two complaints they will charge you double and the G.P is at the bottom of the charges scale...I know Spain is far cheaper so your friend should be glad they're only paying mega euros....
There are private English speaking docs here who can write prescriptions for a 20€ consultation fee and so medication doesn't have to be bought over the counter …

I had an E 121 form from the UK which I applied for through the Seguridad Social in Cartagena so as a pensioner my treatment and meds were all covered.
My English pal who still lived in Spain at the time was visiting the U.K and fell over breaking several bones in her foot. The hospital bill for her ops was over £10 ,000 which she had to pay but fortunately had taken out insurance.
I don't understand why you would say they don't perform eye ops for diabetics as my friend's husband is just booked in for this and my other friend on Stage 5 kidney failure is waiting for the dialysis to be sorted.
Meanwhile another friend living 6 months Spain and 6 months UK with a home in both countries had to pay Private in Spain to be told she had 2 months to live with as she had metastatic cancer and he told her to return to the UK.

Thanks GS for clarifying some info … the particular eye op that this friend had done here in Spain he said himself that in UK it would not be performed or covered by NHS... He was the British guy who told me so... also the HOME dialysis is not very common in UK he said … I had an E 121 form from the UK which I applied for through the Seguridad Social in Cartagena so as a pensioner my treatment and meds were all covered.

The hospital delivered all the equipment to his house after they both attended a week's training to learn how to use it … special bed, special equipment to 'plug himself in' every night, all the replacements of everything needed for the administration of it … by 'being plugged in' all night at home it meant he could have a near normal life in the day time instead of spending all day at hospital (an hour's drive away) 3 times a week... again it was the friend who said that in the UK it was rare to have home dialysis back in UK …
So very sorry for the news for your friend

Thanks Selanite That was 4 years ago when I still lived in Bournemouth and Anne did pass away within 4 months. Her husband John still has the villa in Spain and continues to visit.The hospital delivered all the equipment to his house after they both attended a week's training to learn how to use it … special bed, special equipment to 'plug himself in' every night, all the replacements of everything needed for the administration of it … by 'being plugged in' all night at home it meant he could have a near normal life in the day time instead of spending all day at hospital (an hour's drive away) 3 times a week... again it was the friend who said that in the UK it was rare to have home dialysis back in UK …

I have family in Germany having the last scan on Thursday to see if they have managed to kill the metastatic cells from pancreatic cancer but it's not looking hopeful. I am dreading the news.
Take care

waiting and not knowing is the worst ... I've been halping a friend with his appointments and translations with the oncologist for the last couple of months or so. He was really really ill and it all sounded so hopeless and then on his last test result a week ago everything was reversed and suddenly he could receive this one particular treatment that would manage the cancer allowing him a decent quality of life.
Such delightful news for him, his family, our community and me.
We have exhibited our art together in the past worked together on setting up exhibitions for various artists including us and his wife...
There is always hope

I have everything crossed for them. Helen was married to my brother who died when he was 35 and we have still kept in touch all these years. Now she is having to go through the pain once again with her second husband. He has had extensive chemo which has taken it's toll so deserves some good news.I've been halping a friend with his appointments and translations with the oncologist for the last couple of months or so.

O serpent heart hid with a flowering face! Did ever a dragon keep so fair a cave? Beautiful tyrant, feind angelical, dove feather raven, wolvish-ravening lamb! Despised substance of devinest show, just opposite to what thou justly seemest - A dammed saint, an honourable villain!

UK: 15% of Young Muslims Agree People Should ‘Defend Their Culture or Religion with Force’.
Research commissioned by the Tony Blair institute has found that 15 per cent of young Muslims in Britain believe “People should be prepared to go out and fight to defend their religion or culture with force”.
The research, based on polling of 1,011 Muslims and 1,011 white non-Muslims (WNM) aged 18 to 30 in May 2019 by Savanta ComRes, also found that found that 9 per cent of young Muslims believe that “Engaging with non-Muslim institutions, like UK politics” means you are “a traitor to Islam” and “not a true believer”.
A slightly higher 11 per cent agreed that such engagement “undermines the Muslim community”.
