Yes, as Spain is a member of the European Union - all EU citizens can benefit from free nonelective medical treatment in Lanzarote. It is free and easy to apply for all Eu citizens. It is however recommended that all tourists apply for travel insurance before visiting Playa Blanca for added peace of mind. This is particularly important if you are planning on engaging in activities such as hiking or water sports.  For UK residents, are 2 types of cover available.
