Ex needing National Insurance Number

Going on from a thread I read on here about an ex needing copies of passports, my ex asked me for my NI number as he was taking our children abroad and said he needed it for that European Health Card, E333 or whatever it is.
Is this normal? I just gave it to it as I didn't think there was anything sinister he could do with my NI number. Or am I wrong?

The only time I ever need my partner's NI number is when I'm filling in an application on his behalf.... I can't think of any reason I would need a number other than mine.They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm.

Hmm, wonder why he said he needed it then. I can only assume he was paying for this card. He has taken kids to a country in Europe, and just said it asked for the mother's NI number. Couldn't think of any reason not to give it to him, so just gave it to him.
Figured it was because they needed to be put on a card under my name, but don't think I've ever had one.
Not sure if it makes any difference that we're not together any more, not sure why couldn't have just given his. I know he has one, we were together long enough and he's as British as me, as in born in this country and lived here for the last 30odd years.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010

They are free of charge if you go through NHS Choices, but I've seen some websites trying to charge for them. I had to get one for my son last week. Filled it in online - they either want to know your national insurance number or your NHS number (the person who the card is for, this is) so a child under 16 would go by their NHS number.Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game0 -
it does seem weird - do you think he's applying for the kids to be on an EHIC card as dependants where you are the main name? And then he'll have his own EHIC card with just him on it?
You don't pay for EHIC cards, they are free.0
