Getting a consultant to sign a form

    Some advice please, from those of you in the know. I'm not looking for legal advice, I'm asking for advice on how to get a consultant to sign a form that has been with them for 9 months.

    Shortened version of a long story, I look after the affairs of an elderly relative with dementia. As the dementia has progressed, I am taking on more and more responsibilties: paying for carers, organising utilities etc. I have an authority on their bank account. However, the bank argues that because my relative is no longer capable of managing their own affairs, a power of attorney or something similar needs to be sought.

    Independently of the bank, the consultant geriatrician whom my relative attends once a year or so, told me that I should look for power of attorney for my relative. Within a week of being told this, I had my relative's solicitor get the appropriate documentation to this consultant.

    Despite many entreaties, the consultant has still not signed the form - apparently this is not unsual with this consultant according to the solicitor.

    However the bank are now getting somewhat anxious to regularise the situation. And I appreciate their position.

    So, how do I get the consultant to sign the form. I have made a number of polite phonecalls at long intervals - the latest being this morning. The solicitor has sent a gentle reminder to the consultant on occasion as well.

    Should I become such an absolute nuisance, ringing every day and generally being such a pain that the form is signed to get rid of me or would any of you consultants or aspiring consultants or those with experience of consultants have any other more efficient suggestions.

    Thanks in advance.....

    Yes ring his/her secretary on a daily basis looking for an update on the progress if the application . If that fails ask to speak to the clinical director. Be polite but firm.
