Oxygen Whilst abroad

No he just has the concentrator machine. This is the last time he will be going abroad.
It's just too expensive with hire of oxygen, mobile scooter hire, Insurance etc. So I'm only looking for something for this year.
How big is the machine you bought? and how much was it if you don't mind me asking?
Thankyou

If you contact your NHS supplier in the UK and tell them you are going on holiday they should know have a list of suppliers in Spain.
BOC?

I sorted this for my mum about a year or so ago.

Do the NHS provide it? If you are getting it free on the NHS you may get it free in Spain.

Couple of emails / faxes with a letter from the GP and it was sorted.

When you sorted it last year who did you use? I've tried Oxygen world wide but they want 400 euros.
How much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?
Thank you

We tend to go to France so we take all the equipment in the car with us.

We bought a second hand machine on Ebay for about £800, so it's always worth looking there; new the price varies between £1K and £3K. There's a lot of good information about oxygen on here as well as many other aspects of the condition.
