SIR - Twice in five months I spent time in the intensive care unit at Worcestershire Royal Hospital with pneumonia, heart and oxygen problems.

The care and treatment was first class by a wonderful staff.

Even when moved to a ward (which was spotless) I received very good treatment. Home care by Abacus was wonderful. They got me back on my feet with very good care and attention.

Thanks to all concerned.

MAURICE MADELEY, Worcester.
