I WAS very pleased to read in You Say that five super nurses are being trained to prescribe certain drugs.

Having recently spent 10 days as a patient in Worcestershire Royal Hospital, I was discharged one morning at 11.30 but had to wait until 5pm while my prescription was being dispensed.

The appointment of these nurses will do much to relieve the dreaded bed-blocking.
