• I AM pleased to add to correspondence about treatment at the Royal Free Hospital.

I had surgery a few days ago and the medical staff were so kind and supportive. The after-care was excellent.

Thank you to everyone on Ward 10 South. You were so efficient and also so kind. I hope my co-patients on the ward are all recovering well.

So my plea is for funding the health service properly. Without the NHS and staff at the Royal Free I would not be recuperating well at home. My thanks also to my GP and the staff at the GP practice.
