The Argus has published many letters from people moaning about the NHS.

For a change, I would like to praise it. Last week, my wife had an operation at the Royal Sussex County Hospital, Brighton, and we have nothing but praise for the treatment she received.

She was in Bristol ward and the staff were marvellous.

The nurses were so considerate and helpful, especially a certain staff nurse who looked after my wife most of the time.

We send our grateful thanks for the way they looked after her.
