In the U.K. on my death I have left my body to medical science,how can I do the same in Spain?

I read the other day that an EU directive came into effect from 1 Jan 2012 that means healthcare must be available to all in Spain not just those who pay into the social security system. I think this means that all expats who are under retirement age but not paying into the social security system are now eligible to register with their GP with a cert de padronmiento. However, it seems unclear as to the process to register. Has anyone else read this and do you know any other informaiton?
