THE family of Mrs Mary Brown would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Royal Blackburn Hospital.

The care and attention she received from A&E, MAU and Ward 3 during her month-long stay was exceptional.

The staff were always caring, patient and informative to mum, who at 88 suffered several serious medical conditions. She is now being rehabilitated in a local care home and is making good progress.

R. Brown, Woodlands Grove, Darwen.
