CONGRATULATIONS to Rachel Overfield, a director of nursing.

As a retired ward sister and matron, I endorse the fact that at last she is preventing patients, visitors from sitting on their beds during visiting hours.

Visitors were always requested to take a chair from either the ward or corridor for visiting.

These were the days when we had strict visiting hours and only two visitors at a time by each bed.

K M KAVANAGH,

Pershore.
