I would like to share my gratitude for the wonderful treatment my husband received during the past six years through the NHS and the private sector. He recently died, aged 84.

The care he received from GPs, community nurses, diabetic, urology, audiology and eye clinics enabled him to stay at home until the last three months of his life. They are beyond praise. I can never thank them enough for their kindness.
