Mother has an old (1970s) New World Type 722 wall-mounted gas fire.

One radiant element appears to have been broken by a visiting Corgi. (He
swapped the elements round as the centre element was somewhat discoloured.)

Is there any chance of gettting a replacement? Or is it better simply to
bite the bullet now and fit a new fire?

She did say something about one that had a flame effect of some sort.
Are any of these efficient enough to be worth considering? (She only
uses the fire to provide the focal glow and a bit of warm feeling - the
house is fully centrally heated). In case it is relevant, the fire is
flued through a small hole into a full chimney that originally had a
coal fireplace.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

The problem being (he says) that they are not available from normal
suppliers. (I think that quite likely given its age.) Hence asking here
if there is a chance of getting one. I'd wager that I stand a much
better chance by asking you and looking around the web than he does
asking his usual sources.

Get her a red lightbulb under a coal effect plastic thing with a fan
driven by the bulb which rotates and makes the flame flicker effect.

Dunno. Does that generate the heat to power the fan thing? It only
goes round cos of the warm air.
We had one of these things when I was a kid. It had three electric
bars on the front but it was never put on as we had central heating.
(Which we were also forbidden from ever putting on)
