Does anyone know about getting help in repatriating a sick child from France to England, ?

Question

my 6yo has had a serious hernia op in France and will hopefully be released on Weds or Thurs but I am worried about how best to get him home - my french is ok but not up to medical conversations, and am not getting any concrete offers of help from the british embassy. He cannot fly and they do not seem keen on him doing a 9 hour car journey, so train it is! anyone been there and done that and can offer any advice? Thanks!

Answer 1

Were you on holiday or living there?  Have you travel insurance, if so have you contacted the insurance company to see if you are covered.

best place to start.  

go back to the consultate and tell them that he needs help, its the only advice i can offer.
