HAVING recently returned home from hospital, I would like to thank a few people.

From ringing NHS Direct, who came immediately, and brief stays in wards CC11, 18 C6 (QPH), 5AU, 5 HDU, 4, 1 and B6 (QPH) I was treated with care and attention (as everyone was).

Thanks to the various therapists and to Canon J Harrison and Father Farrell for their visits.

MARY MERCER, Cedar Street, Blackburn.
