REGARDING all the poor reports on the Royal Bolton Hospital -- what a load of rubbish. I and many former patients are grateful for its excellent work.

Ward C3, where I spent six weeks recently, is due to move to a new refurbished ward.

I would like to wish the hospital good luck with its new ward and hope it keeps the name C3.

Without trying to sound like Louis Armstrong, I must say it's a wonderful ward with wonderful staff.

Thanks C3 for everything.
