However you would have to be in the Spanish health system to get the blood tests and prescriptions which would mean giving up your rights in the UK in the meantime and taking out Spanish residencia.
The alternative is to use a private clinic of which there are many.
Pricewise they are fairly reasonable,and usually of a good standard.
Hope this is some help or if I can advise you further I will try.

Thank you for the advice. I lived in Spain previously and had a Social Security Number, being employed for more than two years. I have been back in Scotland for almost 5 years so I doubt that the SS number in Spain would be still active. I would ideally like to return to see the Specialist in Scotland if that is possible, while getting the routine medication and tests in Spain. If you have any information on where to find advice I would be very grateful.
Thanks, Colin.
