I HAVE been a patient at the 'Stewart Day Hospital' in St Helens and I want to say a big thank-you for the wonderful care and dedication of the entire staff who gave patients so much help to get back their confidence to face the world again.

I cannot praise them enough. Also the after-care from the CPNs who make sure you keep up with the treatment and therapy.

I want them to know I, for one, owe them my gratitude for a better understanding of how to cope with the stress of life.

God bless you all and a Happy New Year!
