I hold permanent residence and would need to bring over my sister who is severely ill (lacks mental capacity) and cannot be looked after in my home country. Is there a specific application for this?

Are you an EEA citizen or a non-EEA citizen? What nationality/ies does your sister have? Can you prove financial dependency of your sister on you?

I’m an Italian citizen... my sister is supported financially in part by me and in part by my elderly parents who are too ill to take care of her now

As your sister is an EEA citizen, she can move to the UK in her own right, as long as she can get Comprehensive Sickness Insurance (private health insurance) and is otherwise self-sufficient through her dependency on you.
