I have just returned home after being in The Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath.

The treatment I received was excellent. I was in Horsted Keynes ward for four days and the medical and nursing staff could not have done more for me had I been someone very important or well-known.

The food was delicious and everywhere was spotlessly clean.

Friday is operation day and one nurse told me she started at 8am and worked non-stop until 9pm, just stopping for a snack in-between. I know this is true because I was there last Friday.

Everything works like clockwork and I strongly condemn the media for putting the hospital down.

So please, everybody who reads this, support the Princess Royal Hospital because I for one do not know what we would do without it.
