MAY I write a few words praising the NHS and the social services as not a lot of people do that these days?

Since my husband has been ill, he could not have had better treatment if we had paid thousands of pounds.

Our doctor arranged for nurses to come and help me until my husband could be admitted to hospital.

The social services delivered a wheelchair which seems to do everything.

Also, here on Oaksfield, we have a very caring warden, who stayed with me when I needed her.

A big thank you, one and all.

MRS JEPSON, Oaksfield, Darwen.
