ON Mothering Sunday our mother was admitted to Whiston Hospital with what we at first thought were minor ailments.

However, this was not the case and she was admitted to ward 5B where she remained until passing away on March 25.

During her stay she was treated with the utmost care and dignity by all the ward staff. My mother asked me to do this short note. She was so complimentary towards all the staff and of the treatment she received.

The whole family would also like to thanks all the staff of 5B for the excellent care and attention my mother received during her time on the ward. My mother's name was Betty Duffy and she was 87 years old when she passed away. Thank you all.
