I CAN vouch for everything that Mrs M Lucas (Your Views, September 14) says about the staff on H3 ward, at the Royal Bolton Hospital.

I was admitted on New Year's Day this year, and one particular night I had to get up, it was about 3am. On the way back to my bed, one of the nurses on night duty asked if I would like a cup of tea

During my 12 days, I found them to be the most caring and considerate people I have ever had to be looked after by during my many stays in hospital.

Another grateful patient.
