Heartless surgery abandons cancer patient without support

My sister is battling stage 4 cancer and currently receiving treatment in Australia after being diagnosed while working abroad. When she reached out to her local GP surgery seeking an urgent referral for her planned return to the UK, the receptionist, following the practice manager's instructions, informed her that she would be removed from their patient list due to being out of the country for over 3 months and would need to re-register upon her return. Throughout the past half-year, she has repeatedly attempted to communicate with this surgery, often staying awake late hoping for a call from the GP, when a simple email correspondence should have been offered, considering her critical diagnosis and her being overseas. This response is completely unacceptable and demonstrates a profound lack of support, particularly for someone with stage 4 cancer who is desperately trying to coordinate future medical care to continue living. I am utterly dismayed by this surgery's callous attitude and complete absence of empathy and understanding.
