I think the best thing is to give the BLF help line a ring I would imagine they may have the answer to this problem Good luck

Best wishes Julie

Helpline has information on this. The helpline is manned Monday to Fridays, between 10am and 6pm, there number is 03000 030 555.

Hope you can get this arranged without too much trouble, so you can enjoy your Holiday :)

Hi

Surely your oxygen provider would be able to help you with this. We are with Dolby Vivisol and they are always very helpful.

Hi there i want to go to spain . By the looks of it I need to do it myself. Can I ask how you went about it plus was there a fee for the concentrator to be delivered??

I am actually on holiday now in Southern Ireland and have had oxygen supplied here to the place we are staying. Ten cylinders were delivered - our Oxygen supplier arranged it.

You need your Dr, Consultant or Respiratory Nurse to forward your Oxygen Prescription to whoever will supply your holiday oxygen. There should be no problem.

Good luck and enjoy your holiday.

Hi willow dangirlone is correct you will need your script for the oxygen and I was 279 pounds for my concentrator 40 of that was delivery. It was well worth it as I had oit for 2days before my holiday hope this answers your questionm. Tc. Xx
