Reclaiming Capital Sum from an Annuity with Rothesay

On behalf of my father. He has an Annuity from Rothesay which pays out just over £200/year which he took out for his wife in the early 90s. He is keen to get back the capital sum to help pay for care home fees for his wife. However, he's now discovered it's 'non-communicable' and that's what he would have signed up to. What escape clauses are open to him to recover this capital? Is there a sliding scale of fees that Rothesay is likely to charge for repayment of the capital sum?

There is no capital sum.
What escape clauses are open to him to recover this capital?None, because there is no capital.
Is there a sliding scale of fees that Rothesay is likely to charge for repayment of the capital sum?No. because there is no capital.
When he bought the annuity, he exchanged the capital for a guaranteed income for life. The capital ceased to exist at that point.

I think you mean the annuity is 'non-commutable'.
