I wish to thank the Deputy for bringing this case to the attention of my Department. An official from the Consular Assistance unit has contacted the husband of the person who is hospitalised abroad. It is my understanding that the patient's Consultant Psychiatrist, based at St Ita's Hospital, is in direct contact with the treating doctors in the UK and that arrangements will be made to repatriate the patient at the appropriate time. We have given contact details of the relevant officials to the individual’s husband and remain available to assist with any consular aspects of this case.
