MALLORCA TODAY - New health card for Balearics to be introduced in January

As previously reported, the new health card for the Balearics, for which patients will be required to pay ten euros, is to provisionally be introduced at the start of January 2012. Its full introduction will be in May. Renewal of the card will necessitate payment for a card that will include patient data and a photo. Early renewal will allow for a 50% discount. A question regarding this is one for British residents who cannot currently hold identity residency cards. As the health card will include a photo and identity information, would they not be able to use the card as they might a regular identity card?
