AFTER visiting the new Royal Blackburn Hospital I was pleasantly surprised by the layout, which, at the first look seemed very difficult.

As always, staff proved very helpful and courteous and I am sure people will come to the conclusion that money was well spent on this building.

Both myself and my partner have had the very best treatment possible, though having to return time and time again for different ailments.

The old hospital served us well, but we feel this new establishment will do even better.
