OH dear, Oh dear, Oh dear! John D Farrer (LET, April 18) has not one original thought but just a rehash of his party leader's verbal attack on T Blair.

Why don't the Tories, and Mr Farrer, start to discuss their own manifesto and come up with some real policies and not rehashed Maggie ideas.

In the last four years I have had to use the NHS regularly due to a very bad accident.

Not once have I had to wait, not once have I had to complain, not once has my treatment been of substandard quality.

The NHS has improved under "Tony," and I sincerely hope, although the Labour Government are by no means perfect that they get the chance to carry on the job the electorate has given them the mandate to do for the last two terms of Parliament.

I can now walk again thanks to "Tony."
