SIR - In recent times, the National Heath Service and Worcestershire Royal Hospital have been having some critical press. The treatment I received at Worcester Royal Hospital was excellent.

Recently, I attended the Laurel Three haematology unit Worcester Royal as a day case for treatment. It was of the highest standard from consultants, doctors, nurses and support staff.

Their dedication and general care was second to none. They conducted their duties in a friendly manner and I am sure it goes a long way to put the patients on the road to recovery.
