Reread what I wrote. I said that I can't believe that there is no private facility that will do it. Whilst smaller private units are not going to have the requisite facilities, I'm certain there will be somewhere in the UK that does.

But the OP doesn't want to tell us what the procedure is ...

I'm certain there are many operations that can only currently be done in NHS hospitals.

The OP doesn't have to tell us, I don't expect that, just pointing out that without the information a lot of the thread is guesswork, like your assumption that a critical care bed would be needed for example.

Edit, just caught up and that last bit is now redundant!

Operation is keyhole on a kidney that caused severe sepsis, so besides repair drains need removing as well.

Look at the Wellington Hospital in London. I can personally recommend them, although their charges will be at the top of the scale. A family member has had extremely complex surgery there, and the care received was excellent (they live overseas so their costs were covered by an expat health insurance).
