So it looks like the Convenio Especial is back on and according to this report it can be used to apply for residencia. It clearly states saying, ideal for people who have found it difficult to get private healthcare because of ongoing conditions. You need to prove you have lived here for a year which you can do if you've been on the Padron for a year. Looks like a game changer for some.

Convenio Especial
Re: Convenio Especial
Yeah "thanks" to the brit consul Problem now is theres reports of people who were put on the system via the royal decree now been refused and been told to go on the convenio and people been refused full stop.
Re: Convenio Especial
I was of the belief that in order to be eligible you had to have held residencia for 12 months not just padron? If that is the case how can it be used to obtain residencia?
Re: Convenio Especial
That was the situation in our case Bob a few years back so I don't understand it either.

Re: Convenio Especial
Certainly last year when I obtained residencia I was told private first year and to apply for residencia and after first year I could apply for Convenio Especial.
Re: Convenio Especial
In my case 6 years ago, I was lucky enough to get a temporary S1 (no longer available) which I used to get "residencia" and after being resident for 1 year we were able to apply for the convenio especial. Took a while as it was quite new at the time in Andalucia and no-one in the offices seemed to know about it. I finally contacted the Presidenta of the Junta at the time (Susana Diaz) and she sent me a letter to show the office. Amazing what a letter can do lol. No problem after that.
