Up until recently I would have agreed with you on this point, but it seems that the OP had a contract with BA by whom the ticket was issued.
It could be argued that BA or its subcontractor, in this case QF, are responsible under EC 261/2004 for the Article 9 Right to Care since under Article 3 Scope the following is to be found:
5. This Regulation shall apply to any operating air carrier providing transport to passengers covered by paragraphs 1 and 2. Where an operating air carrier which has no contract with the passenger performs obligations under this Regulation, it shall be regarded as doing so on behalf of the person having a contract with that passenger.
