I WRITE on behalf of all my family following the recent sad loss of my father.

We all agree that the care and attention he received, from being admitted to A&E, followed by brief stays in both the Assessment ward and A4, before being transferred to the High Dependency Unit was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for all the dedicated staff.

I would like to pass on our sincere thanks and acknowledgement of the care that he received. Many are too eager to criticise the NHS. Fortunately in Bolton we have a hospital and staff that we should all be proud of.

Thank you all once again.
