Police are concerned for the safety of an elderly woman who went missing from her nursing home last night.

Police are concentrating their search for diabetic 85-year-old Regina Parnett in Cobham and Kingston, the areas where she lived before moving to the Reigate nursing home from where she went missing.

A Surrey Police spokeswoman said officers were concerned for Mrs Parnett's safety because she has been without her diabetes medication since 9pm last night.

"She has no money with her and concerns for her safety are growing, particularly as she is diabetic and needs regular medication," she said.

Mrs Parnett is 5ft 5in tall, with grey hair and is believed to be wearing either a blue or red cardigan and a floral dress.

Anyone who sees Mrs Parnett is urged to phone Surrey Police on 0845 125 2222.
