Removal Of Elderly with No Relatives - Process?

[Cockney_007]

How does the Home Office remove a elderly person if they cannot look after themselves and have no relatives in their country of origin. As I understand it the chances of a elderly parent looking to get leave to remain in the UK is virtually impossible under the new rules.

However, what would happen if the elderly relative is already in the UK when the application is put in? Surely, the logical process is the elderly person would be refused in the court. After which they would be sent a letter stating they are a overstayer and subject the removal. They would they be detained by a enforcement team and put in a detention centre after which they would be put on a flight back home.

However, how would this work if the elderly person in question cannot look after themselves as they are really old and have no relatives in their country of origin. Say if a 75 year old person from Bangladesh and has severe disabilties linked to their age which means they need a carer to look after them and all their family is in London and they have no-one back home. Once the Home Office has successfully removed them to Bangladesh what happens? Do they just say simply to Bangladesh 'your problem' and leave the person as I do not see what else the Home Office can do if the person has no relatives in Bangladesh. In that case what would the Bangladesh government do seeing as they are quite a poor country and do not have many care homes

You're better off researching from the other end in Bangladesh! They (HO Officials) simply hand them over to the (Bangladesh) government officials and I think they do make sure he/she is in safe hand! It not really the Secretary of State 'cup of tea' what happens after that.
