I AM not a local resident, but I recently had cause to be admitted to Withybush hospital.

I spent some time in the A + E department having various tests, and the treatment I received was first class.

I was then admitted to Ward 8, where from the start I received nothing but excellent care and attention from the nurses, doctors, consultants and everyone I came into contact with.

I cannot praise the staff highly enough. The ladies who brought our meals were always cheerful, making us laugh with their kind, funny remarks. As for the menu - there was plenty of variety, and I enjoyed my meals.

So in a world where many people are so ready to complain about the NHS and its staff, I would like to say that I think they do a fantastic job and deserve our unreserved thanks. God bless all of them.
