How do we get a mental health patient back to the uk without any money?

Question

Help I have exhausted all areas my mum and her partner went on holiday to Mexico recently my mums partner as paranoid schizophrenia and whilst out there had a relapse he badly beat my mum and ended up in an hospital we have already raised the money to pay for his immediate care but since he as been moved to a mental hospital 4 hours away from Cancun MY MUM IS HOME NOW. Her partner is under a section 117 which basically means that there is a duty of care to him and he receives free after care which is available once he gets back in the UK this in effect is the problem as we cant get the british embassy to help the foreign office wont help financially the mental health centre wont help. Can anyone help with finding funding to get him back home?

Answer 1

Your MP may be able to assist you with red tape.  It is very difficult to get anything out of the system though.  Good luck.

Answer 2

As far as I know, you have to pay to bring him back.

Answer 3

i'm sure if you talked to the government or council they could do something

Answer 4

as i said before mental hospitals in Mex are almost free

so I dont understand what your problem is

didn't he have a plane ticket back?

or is this a scam?

Answer 5

Talk to your local social services, maybe they will help, or at least be able to point you in the direction to go for help. You should maybe bring along a doctors certificate which proves the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Good luck.
