I HAVE just read the letter from Mr Fairclough-Speed in the Star (January 16, see here).


Is he really serious?


My partner suffered in the hospital corridor quite a few times over the last few months.


Sadly she is no longer with us.


What I can say is that in difficult conditions, the staff at Whiston Hospital do a wonderful job.


They are under such strain caused by the ‘austerity’ of the Tories.


A letter to his MP won’t help and we have another five years of the Conservatives.


 I just fear for any of us if we get ill, but I know the hospital staff will do the very best for you.
