I have to support Mr Brown of Stourport regarding his letter “Praise for hospital”.

He is absolutely right about complaints aimed at our hospitals.

Personally I am relatively lucky, but as I drive voluntarily transporting hospital patients I spend quite a substantial amount of time in Kidderminster and Worcester hospitals waiting for patients. Although I can’t comment on the treatment they receive, in the four years or so I have been carrying out this service I can never recall anyone ever complaining about the service.

There will always be mistakes, (no one is perfect) and there will always be accidents which are basically unexpected happenings.

Let us not criticise our hospitals but let us support them instead.

I don’t wish to pretend that our NHS doesn’t need improving, all services do, but I feel we should we should be proud of the health services we have here in our area.
