I don't want to sound mean or heartless but need advice . My mum has a BUPA policy that costs £2800 a year and is up for renewal. She last used it to have a knee replacement done privately about 5 years ago before she was diagnosed with vascular dementia which is now quite severe. I am in two minds as to whether to renew it as I cannot see what she would use it for. The other knee seems OK - I just phoned the surgeon who did the first operation and asked hypothetically if they would do another one on someone with dementia. The secretary said no they wouldn't take her privately as she would need special care on the NHS. Is there any reason then why I should keep this policy ? The TIAs, falls etc she has had have all been dealt with perfectly OK by the NHS. Advice please ....
