Mrs. Munroe is now a resident of an English hospital in North Yorkshire where she has been living for some time, placed there by her brothers. Her husband, Sandy Munroe, has just recently learned of her whereabouts through help from the Canadian High Commission in London. He has not yet been allowed by the hospital to speak with her on the phone (he wants to sing her Happy Birthday). In an article in The Sunday Herald (herald.ca) it was reported by Mary Ellen MacIntyre " the English hospital where Heli Munroe is a patient say they will resist all attempts to return her to Canada ". Also, "Don Munroe (Sandy's brother) spoke by telephone Friday morning with social worker Olaf Richardson of Billingham Grange, an independent hospital in North Yorkshire, England." who said "Mr.Richardson told me they will do everything to prevent her from being moved because it is not in her best interest and they figured it would be profoundly damaging to her health." also, "They would allow Sandy to visit her" These words in quotation marks are taken from front page of Sunday Herald May27/07.
I cannot believe this hospital did not immediately return Mrs. Munroe to her husband's care & control as soon as they discovered she had been taken from him and denied his care and love. And that they do not consider his presence in her daily life to be of paramount importance to her well-being is simply irresponsible and uninformed.
