THROUGH your letters page may I pass on my sincere thanks to all the staff at Unit 5, Blackburn Royal Infirmary (colo-rectal unit) for their care and consideration, and kindness shown to me on a recent check-up I had.

We hear all sorts of stories about hospitals, but the staff at this unit are first class. Thank you all.

A MONAGHAN (Mr), Lois Place, Blackburn.
