I WOULD like to thank the doctors, nurses and all staff of Ward 6 at Burnley General Hospital and the eye clinic at Blackburn Infirmary, as well as the district nurses from the Bentham Road and Montague health centres who have looked after me after an operation.

Mr Blair, don't forget the NHS - we need it.
