I WOULD Like to say, in defence of the Royal Bolton Hospital, how well I was looked after while having to stay in the Day Care ward for treatment on my back.

I would like to thank all the nursing staff and Dr Waite and his theatre staff for the care and attention I received. I know they are having problems, but the staff do a very good job in the circumstances.
