The British Consulate will be holding an information session on Wednesday 25 February at 6.30pm in Los Cristianos' Auditorio Infanta Leonorto inform British residents here about the benefits of registering with their local ayuntamientos on the padron, and for healthcare and other public services. The Healthcare Team will also provide information about the new "convenio especial", a special pay-in public health insurance scheme in the Canary Islands for those not otherwise covered for state-run healthcare, such as early retirees. They will also explain how to register for healthcare in general and how to get a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) if you are a worker or a pensioner. Admission is free and there is no need to register in advance. JA (http://www.janetanscombe.com/news/british-consulate-information-session-in-los-cristianos-auditorium-wednesday-25-february.html)
