SIR – I read with interest Gill Hayward’s letter of October 26 criticising Mr Phillpott for his ideas on the mentally ill in “lunatic asylums” (in 2009 known as psychiatric hospitals), in which the inmates – sorry, patients – are treated. I do not read Mr Phillpott’s column but it seems to reflect on the press in general.
