I believe that it is part of the reciprocal agreement that covers EU citizens who currently reside in the UK.

Gordon, my understanding of the latest update, as linked by Peter, is still the same as above. That is, if you are a pensioner permanently residing in the EU and, in the case of Spain, are in receipt of S1 (that is health benefits) then you will be eligible to apply for a new EHIC card.
