HOW lovely it was to see an article in the BEN on August 6, praising hospital porters.

It was my husband's job for more than 12 years. His wages were £6,500 a year. How does it compare to some footballers on £24,000 a week?

People think hospitals, doctors and nurses, but how many other people work in the medical background? Everybody is needed to keep our hospitals running.
