I FEEL that congratulations are due to Mrs Pat Archer-Jones and her colleagues on the Worcestershire Health Authority for completing the destruction of Kidderminster Hospital in record time.

Emergency patients will be extremely grateful to them for providing extra ambulances to take them for a ride of 20-25 miles through the beautiful Worcestershire countryside prior to receiving treatment.

I am sure that they will receive the appropriate recognition from Mr Blair when the Honours List is published.
