SIR – Recently some negative reports regarding Worcestershire Royal Hospital have been printed and I feel the need to respond.

Within the last six weeks I have had three surgical operation at this hospital, firstly in dermatology and then ophthalmology.

I cannot praise highly enough the personal care and treatment I received from both skilled young surgeons and their wellorganised, dedicated specialist nursing staff.

My thanks to all of them, they make such a difference, and long live the NHS.

TRISH FOX, Worcester.
