I'm writing on behalf on my sister Rebecca. She's 30years old and lives in Spain. Becky has Cystic Fibrosis and her lung function is currently at 30%. She needs oxygen whilst she sleeps and walks, and if she takes part in any exercise. Becky is British, however has spent over half of her years living in Spain. She is looking to come over to England this Summer to visit her family but she is struggling with this as she will need oxygen whilst she is over in England. Becky is able to take her Oxygen cylinder on the plane with her, but will need oxygen for when she arrives at her family house. I have rang her previous hospital and doctors in England and Spain but they have both been useless, and not wanting to help. We tried to get it on prescription but as she lives in Spain this isn't possible. I now guess we will need to rent from somewhere, but I am having no luck in finding anywhere. I emailed my local doctors, who asked for Becky's Spanish prescription to be faxed over. We did this, and never heard back. I think this is very unfair, my sister is unwell and no one is willing to help. She has got worse this last year and all she wants to do is stay in England for a few weeks. Can anyone offer any support or advice on how we go about this please? she has left me to try and find information as I live in England and I guess it will need to be sorted out my end. Thanks in advance
