WE are three ladies who recently spent a short stay in Blackburn Royal Infirmary. We have heard quite a lot of bad press about hospitals and would like to set some of them straight.

We were all admitted to the planned admission ward on the same day. Despite this being a busy ward we were all treated with care, cheerfulness and a ready smile by all the staff.

The ward and the beds were spotless and the meals we were served were excellent.

Thank you BRI.
