In a psychiatric intensive care unit in central London 17 percent of consecutive admissions between 1 October 1997 and 1 October 1998 were foreign nationals from European Union (EU) countries. This paper discusses the experience of arranging repatriation and some of the relevant legal, ethical and clinical issues involved and reports the results of contacting all the EU embassies regarding the process of repatriating psychiatric patients to their respective countries.
