Hi Can any tell me if I'm entitled to get free oxygen while on holiday?

I have chronic C O P D and use O2, 15hrs a day plus mobile. I'm travelling to Spain for a 4 day break in May and have heard you can apply for it over there with an EHIC but can't find any confirmation on this or an enquiry address even my COPD team can't help!

I'd be eternally log gratefully for any help as have made enquiries on price and they want nearly 400euros for 4days! Tia

    British Lung Foundation may be able to help you further on this:

    https://www.blf.org.uk/

    You will no doubt have to pay for delivery and supply while you are in Spain.

    Just go to BLf home was from the link above and put in the search on their site 'oxygen abroad'

    Good luck and have a great holiday.
