ON behalf of the Trust Board and our staff, we’d like to thank all those patients, visitors and partners who have supported the Royal Bolton Hospital’s work in the past year.

We’ve received many thank you letters, cards, compliments and also donations from families who have been pleased with the care they have received. We wish them all good health in the New Year.

We’d also like to thank our members of staff for their work during another challenging year.

Many of those staff – including non-clinical staff – will be working at various times over the festive period ensuring that hospital services are available throughout.

Finally, we would like to wish all readers a happy, healthy and peaceful Christmas and New Year.

David Fillingham Chief Executive Cliff Morris, Chairman
