I need information on organisations in england who can repatriate a 71 old lady from spain to england

Question

this lady has alzheimer and dementia her son lives in the cannary iles but will not answer my emails and the spanish specialist says she has got to be repatriated back to england as they cannot do any more for her other than give het pills

Answer 1

contact the uk common wealth office in london you can find them on the web or get further help and advice for her from nhs direct you can find them @ nhsdirect .org.uk they will give you what is called best advice in all medical matters for a uk national and sort out and advise you about repatreation  

Answer 2

If she has no address to return to England then she may not be able to travel here with or without escort , it needs to be resolved as this is going to become a problem in the future , they either go or stay but health care needs to be thought about . The son is the best option .

Answer 3

Apart from the suggestions already made by Teddy, if you know the area she came from you could try contacting the local MP, or the press to see if either can apply some Political pressure. I don't understand if the lady is a permanent resident how the Specialist is saying she has got to be repatriated. Surely a huge change of this nature will be confusing and distressing for her. I thought we are all supposed to be citizens of Europe, or in this case apparently only until we need ongoing care. Perhaps you should step back and let the Specialist's Secretary try to contact the son?

Answer 4

well, shouldnt she be with her son? or are you going to look after her?

Answer 5

Have you tried the obvious, Consulate, Embassy, especially as she has serious health issues.  If not then try them, and any organisation like Age Concern, though i really can't see them doing much, as they are only UK based i believe.  

actually look at Age Concern website, because there is lots of info on people retiring to foreign countries, so they may be able to give info on how one gets someone home. Goodluck

apologies for not posting link, but they are well known organisation in UK
