IN view of all the criticism of the NHS, I would like to tell of my experience.

On January 2, I was admitted to Blackburn Infirmary and was very poorly. A young female doctor and team worked hard to get me stable and the following day, I was transferred to Ward D3 at Queen's Park Hospital for two weeks.

The tea ladies, cleaners, nurses and doctors were brilliant and the food was great. Thank you.
