Can someone tell me what a temporary sip card is, please. I am 68 and just moved over, do I need one?

Yes you do need one. A temp SIPcard allows you to get prescribed medicines from the pharmacy. I think the temp one is valid for 6 months then you will get a permanent one. You need to show it when you go to the pharmacy

Everyone can get a temp sip card. You need a pardon, your EHIC card, and passport. Take them to the Rojales Town Hall and see the lady who sits at the desk ( in The corner by the stairs) . You are then registered with a doctor and can see him for repeat prescriptions ect .
If you have Residencia and are getting your pension you can transfer your medical from Uk to here and get a full SIP card
Happy in the sun.

A temp SIP card is not issued everywhere. It is in Rojales which is one of the few places that allows a non resident to sign on the padron.
It simply saves the med centre you visit filling in a new form with your EHIC every time.
It does not give any concessions on the price of prescriptions and gives you the same cover as your EHIC does.
