IN contrast to a lot of negative media comment concerning the NHS, I would like to take this opportunity to express my complete satisfaction with the treatment I received recently at St Helens Hospital.

I was admitted to the Sanderson Suite where I underwent eye surgery.

Throughout my stay I was treated to the highest standards of skill, professionalism, empathy and kindness.

I cannot praise the staff enough and they all have my grateful thanks.
