Having had a road accident on 28 November on A44, I was taken by my friend, who lives in South Littleton, to Evesham Community Hospital.

My wait was two minutes, and I was seen, X rayed, diagnosed and treated, leaving the hospital 45 minutes after entering. You can image the length of wait I would have had in South London, where I live.

I urge, from a distance, everyone who draws breath in Evesham and the surrounding areas to voice their support for the hospital.

You don't know what you have got 'till it's gone for ever.

I envy you such a convenient, bright, efficient treatment centre, where the staff are first rate.
