I was somewhat baffled by the letter from R Hyde (Shuttle March 19).

After stating that Kidderminster hospital was closed because the then Labour Government ‘botched NHS funding’, the writer said ‘we have not forgotten’.

I fear the writer’s memory is not that good.

Where, I wonder, have they received excellent treatment? I have received it at Kidderminster hospital. I have an appointment there in a couple of weeks time.
